The Fair!

Yesterday we had a great day at the fair. First we checked out all the animals.
Courtney liked the ducks and walked around saying "quack! quack!"

We didn't go on too many rides. Actually we went on only the "Merry Go Round." We wanted to save our money for other things. It cost $3 a person to ride. I had to pay just to stand on there with the girls. (That is my arm sticking out from behind Kelsi.)

Kelsi and Shaylee each had an art project from school put into the fair exhibit. Kelsi's is in the yellow one just to the right of her. It was a collage of all yellow things cut out from magazines and then there was glitter over the top.

Shaylee's was the one right above her head with the two people on it.
When we saw the same Hawaiian Ice place as there was last year we had to get one. We got strawberry cheesecake flavor with a scoop of ice cream on the bottom and cream on top. We all enjoyed it.
One of the highlights of the day was the FREE(yeah!) face painting. The woman that was doing it did a wonderful job. If she doesn't charge too much we may consider having her come do it for our girls birthday parties next year.

She did lots of other designs that you could choice from but both of the girls really liked this butterfly. I think they turned out really cute.

Courtney and Daddy were very patient while the girls got their faces painted and spent some of the time sitting in the grass eating cotton candy. Courtney saw this picture of her and Daddy this morning and said "bite, yummy." She is so cute and learning to say so many things. We had only minor hiccups in the day but overall I think it was a good day.
