fun at the fair

Before the craziness of the past weeks began to unfold, we managed to spend some time at the fair. Jennifer was beyond excited to get to go the fair. In the days leading up to us going it was all that Jennifer talked about. It was slightly hot while we were there but the girls did great and we had a great time!
More that anything Jennifer just wanted to ride a horse at the fair. Every time we saw a horse she would look at Bill and I and tell us she needed to ride the horse. Here she is telling this horse to "come here horse". We ended up watching a horse show Thursday evening and when it was done Jennifer got lots of people to stop so she could pet their horses, very sweet.If there was just a horse attached to this saddle life would be great!Finally, she got to ride a horse. Ok, really it is a pony and it just went in a small circle, four times. Yes the guy made sure not to break the rules and go around more than four times. I think Jennifer was thinking that really wasn't a horse ride.Jen rode the little pony Thursday night and Friday afternoon she got to do what she came to the fair to do, she got to ride a real horse! This sweet girl, we have no idea what her name is, stopped while she was practicing for a horse later in the evening and gave Jen a ride on her horse. The horses name is Sally and this made Jennifer's day! This girl was so sweet to take Jen on a ride, it makes me smile just thinking about it. Jennifer's fair trip was complete after this.Love this! Jennifer is talking to the lamb.

Had to take this picture for my grandma and grandpa!
Jennifer was very excited to visit Clifford, that is until he was actually close to her! Mikayla looks a little interested in him though.
Getting ready to do "Little Hands on the Farm".

At the end each kid gets a dollar for "farming" and they get to spend their dollar at a store. Of course there was no questions what Jennifer was going to pick, a popsicle!Mikayla taking a little snooze late in the evening.

Her snooze didn't last long and she woke up in time to share a little ice cream with grandma. This girl loves ice cream!

I must admit I have more fair pictures! However, blogger was being a bit funny tonight so this was all that I could upload for now...
