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.

The Fair

Last Friday Jeremy and Kelsi both had the day off. It was Fair Day. I guess it is such a big deal around here that the schools get out, so Jeremy decided to take the day off and we made a day of it. There was a parade in the morning that we didn't go to because we thought we would beat the crowds at the fair ground. But when we got there nothing was open but the animal exhibit so we decide to go get an early lunch at McDonald's. We wished we would have gone to the fair. After that we headed back to the fair grounds where we wondered the animal exhibits and then the other exhibits which had opened by then. Kelsi's class put an art project in that we got to see. We had a really fun day but were worn out by the time we headed home around 2:30. All three girls feel asleep in the car. Here are a few picture highlighting the event. I would have gotten more but I hadn't empty the memory card so we were limited to a few.

Enjoying our strawberry cheesecake flavored shaved ice with cream on top and a scope of ice cream on the bottom. Yum!

Riding the Merry Go Round.

Cute little train that they rode on.

Here they are!

Up, Up and away on the Ferris Wheel.

Courtney was such a good girl that day. It made it lots of fun for everyone.

Sorry, no pictures of me. I was the one behind the camera.
