First Fair Trip

Ok, so I have been a resident of Columbia County for, what, 22 years or so? and I have never been to the Columbia County Fair! (gasp)  So this evening, we packed up Kate and headed across Columbia Road to go see what all the fuss was about.  It really was a lot of fun!

Kelly, Billy, and Will came out too, as well as Paul, Cy and Ansley, and also the McMurray's!  So fun to see the kids get excited and see their little eyes light up.  Kate road the Carousel with Daddy and Billy, Kelly, and Will.  Kate and Will weren't too sure about it...and I don't think the adults were either!  Joe said that thing went a little faster than he thought it would, especially since they were riding on the inside circle. Think they got a little dizzy.  Next Joe and Kate rode the big slide together.  I think she liked it, although there were a few tears at the top of the slide when the man in charge took hold of Kate while Joe sat down on the burlap sack.  She did not like that.  But she had recovered by the time they reached the bottom.  Joe said he think they caught a little air coming over those humps in the slide.  Mama was a little nervous watching :)

After the slide Ansley wanted Kate to go ride "Nemo" with her.  This is a cute little ride of a bunch of little Nemo fishies that the kids sit in and are strapped in.  So she actually got to ride this one on her own!  I wasn't too sure about this either, at first, but the lady in charge of the ride tried to assure us they were big enough and would be fine!  I think Kate could have taken it or left it...she didn't seem to love it nor hate it.  Will, on the other hand, wasn't too fond of it, but was a big boy (had a big day today...first haircut!) and hung in there until it was over.  We had some dinner (fair food!!!!), walked around a little more, and headed home!  All that fun, and I leave my camera IN THE CAR.  :(  Luckily Kelly had hers.

Joe did manage to get this image with his phone of Kate on the Nemo ride

  

We were in Perry this past weekend so Joe and Terry could get some hunting in and Kate and I could help Grammy around the house some while she recovers from her knee surgery. 

It was a coooooold weekend!

We went on a few golf cart rides.

Kate liked driving!

You guys hopping in or what?!

Watching the water

The holidays will be here very soon!  Can't wait to see her little face light up when she sees the tree this year!  I also can't wait to teach her about why we celebrate Christmas.
