County Fair...

Last week was the Madison County Fair & Rodeo....I bet you can guess which part was most popular at our house :)

The girls and I spent most of the day there on Friday. We went early in the morning for the 4h horse show. Several girls that Maggie knows were showing their horses. Maggie LOVED it, Gracie was a little bored. Thankfully the grandstands were mostly empty so she could keep herself busy climbing all over. We've had a lot of questions about when Maggie can have her own horse, since seeing all the kids in the 4h show. She's counted her allowance several times, trying to decide if it's enough to buy one :) Thankfully you can't show at the fair until you're 8, so we have a few years until it really becomes a question.

Friday night we went back with Arnie for the Rodeo. This time the stands were packed, but thankfully we got to sit in the shade and the man next to us was very patient with Gracie.  We stayed home on Saturday and Sunday evening we made a trip back to ride a few rides. Maggie had been so enamored with the horses that she hadn't even noticed the carnival. I thought it was strange she hadn't asked to go over Friday, but she said, "Wow, this is new!" When we walked in on Sunday :)

Maggie was certainly not going to the fair without being all "cowgirled"
up. Gracie was wearing sandals until she saw her sister....then she was not
going to be left out, she wanted her "FANCY BOOTS."

Ridiculous!

What happens when daddy dresses you for the fair :)

Maggie ran into her friends Rory and Riley at the fair, so they all sat
together to watch the bull riders!

"Hey Chelsea, wake up, there are rides to go on!! Wake up!!"

In line for the Ferris Wheel, Ben must have drawn the short straw, he got
to go with them.

One last County Fair treat....

The fair is exhausting, I think I'm glad it's over until next summer.
