Fun Fun Fair Weekend

We had a great Saturday at the Fair!

First of all, Meredith WON 1st place in
the Baby Show!!!!

It was so much fun.
I'm so glad I decided to put her in.
 

She was clapping for herself with the other kids.

It was very exciting when they called her name
as the 1st place winner. Mer - you are beautiful inside and
out even if you didn't win a dumb baby show....but you DID!!
Your brothers, sister and family is so very proud of you.
We love you too much! Good job sweet girl.

After she won, she had a banana Popsicle

and a nap!

Then it was onto the rides for Mark and the other kids.

Emma and Maddox always make big plans about the
things they are going to ride, but when we get there
they chicken out. That's fine with me. I'm glad they
are happy to still ride the 'kiddy' rides.
Because kiddies they are!

Tanner LOVES the fair. Maybe more than anyone.
He was super excited about how tall he was this year.

Even still, there were a couple of rides that he wanted
to do but still needed a few more inches. There's always next year.

 

 

The scrambler. Nuff said.
My all time favorite ride.
I put the boys on there and said, "you're going to love this!"
Maddox wasn't too sure that it would be fun.
I kept telling him YES! Best.ride.ever. Now get on!
I was right. Every time their little cart would swing by me,
he would say things like, "So fun!"  "Really fun!"

Meredith had been held or in a stroller all morning and
she wasn't having it anymore. We put her play clothes on
and then she wanted down.

Like down at the fair.
On the ground.
 

And I forgot her shoes....

YUCK!!

 

Mark took Maddox on the smaller Ferris wheel. I hate those things.
They are too high and too slow for me.
You just hang out on that rickety little seat way up in
the air rocking back and forth and usually with people
you don't know. No thank you!

We stayed for 6 hours.
We've never stayed quite that long before but the pageant
took up the morning. It was blazing hot but not too crowded.
We had fun as always. And no one leaves the fair without one
last free Popsicle!!

Wilson County Bank gives out free Popsicles all week, every day!
My goodness wonder how many they go through?  My family alone
probably ate an entire box.

Did you go the fair?
We love it.
