the one where you rode a pony...

so, we went to the fair...the Elkhart county 4-h fair.  always loved going as a kid, so wanted to make sure you got to experience a dirty, stinky fair with lots of bad-for-you food and questionably safe rides...
 
as we came in, you spied these lovely, little ponies...I lured you away from them with a "maybe later"...
 

 
the big tractors...

 
the dirty, stinky animals...

 
Jackson, you were ALL ABOUT finding the BUNNIES!!!  must find bunnies...NOW!!!
WE FOUND THEM.  NOW PET THEM.

 
the geese...

 
and then we ate a hotdog and funnel cake while listening to a senior citizen talent (LESS) competition.  it was awful.  not that they ever would, but, grana and papa are forbidden from entering their original poetry/solo act/ventriloquist routine!!!
 
while eating, you spotted the rides and I knew you would not be talked out of riding...something.  but after checking when the rides would start, we were sorely disappointed to find out that they would not open until 3:00 pm.  it was 12:00 pm.  NOT staying at the fair for 3 hours just to ride the rides that would have cost a small fortune to ride.  SO...$6 pony rides it was...
 
you couldn't have been more excited...


 
ride em', cowgirl!!!


 
the round and round/up and down motion must have been soothing, zoey, because you just about fell asleep...

 
so.much.fun.
