Fair Fun and Family

The county fair was hopping as usual this year, so off we went to see all the animals,

to ride on 4 wheelers and tractors,

to eat ice cream,

and have a grand time in general.

Joey's sister, Ashley, along with her family and Joey's brother, Matt, came up for the weekend. All of his family got together several times to eat, visit, the fair, and hang out.

Can you tell how big this bunny is???

Holly and the boys happened to be at the fair the same time!

Group hug!

There's baby chickens in there somewhere...

Buckle up for safety and drive!

Grandpa's motorcycle is so fun!

Julian and Lydia are the closest in age: only 4 weeks, but that may change with the two newest additions expected anytime.

Georgia Mountain Fair

I can't remember ever going to the Ga. Mt. Fair, so we rode over on Friday and walked through it. We were hoping for more animals, but Lydia was still intrigued.

We thought for sure she'd ride the miniature pony, but we were proved wrong. Oh well. :) 

My mom told us to look up her and dad's old friends who always sell ice cream at the fair. We found them and it was delicious! 

I wanted to try a frozen banana dipped in chocolate.

They make it in this old fashioned machine! So cool!

Playing in the water was a special treat. 

All in all, a good time was had!

We love the County Fair

Every year the county fair is open for five short days. We make the best of it by going as often as possible. My parents took Lydia Friday morning (I was there with my first grade class), we went again that evening, AND the next day before dinner. Did I mention Lydia loves animals? She wanted to pet everything in sight. She was so excited, she didn't want to hold our hands, so the overalls came in very handy. :)

Hope wasn't so keen on the animal touching.

But she got her hand a few.

How much does Lydia weigh?

Too cute for words.
