Fun at the Fair

Abbie and Jessie, Sophie and Carley

Abbie with performers from one of the shows.

Abbie got to be part of the "band".  

They made this area look like an old timey wash station.

It's a tradition!  It's hard to get all of us with a decent expression on our face.  

Here's Abbie up in the tractor!

Carley and Sophie on the midway.  The X-Factory ride in the background was one of their favorites. 

We saw Lady Houdini, an escape artist perform.  It makes me nervous just to watch.

Just after school started, our family was able to go to the Williamson County Fair and meet up with the Gray's.  I wasn't sure if we were going to get a chance to go this year or not.  School started back really early this year.  We decided to go on a Saturday and get there during the day kind of like we did last year.  I didn't know if the girls would still agree to go to the Little One's Farming this year because they've about outgrown it (sniff, sniff) but Abbie still wanted to do it.  They get to do all these little tasks like a farmer and they trade in their fake seeds, eggs, veggies, milk, etc at the end for an ice cream sandwich or another treat.  I think, as much as anything, they like the treat at the end.  Abbie does enjoy seeing all of the animals in the big barn though.

Abbie wanted to ride on the ferris wheel and that is just not her Mama's thing so Miss Jill was kind enough to go with her.  The kids had a great time riding the rides.  It was pretty hot to start off.  We also saw a couple of shows.  Abbie got to participate in one about recycling that had music in it.  Lady Houdini was really entertaining because she's an escape artist but it's hard to even watch her do her stunts.  We had a good time overall.  A heavy shower came up right about dinner time and we decided to go ahead and leave.
