Our Trip, Part 2: The Fair

The fair was a lot of fun this year. It always is, but I think this year was so much fun for me because I ran into so many old friends! Plus, our cousin, Nikki, came down with her little family on Friday. It was great to see her, her husband, and her two adorable little girls!

There were some great new acts this year, as well as the old staples. The kids loved seeing this tall cowboy right when we walked in.

We played hard this year. Lots of jumping...

and pony riding.

We got to see Grandma sing the national anthem at the rodeo on Thursday night. She did a great job. Sorry, there's no video; I took it with my camcorder.

We ate a lot of yummy barbecue, funnel cakes, corn on the cob, and ice cream. We rode the carousel...

and saw pirates...

and clowns.

The kids loved the small animal pavilion. It's one of my favorites too. This year, they had a camel inside. When Eden saw it, she said, "Look at those shoulders!"
Grandma corrected her, "Those are humps."

This little girl was manning the pig area and let the kids touch some of the baby chicks and the piglets.It was a fun trip, as always! We're glad to be back home, but we will be excited to come back next year!
