Our Little Corner of the World: The County Fair

The kids and I are back from our trip to Indiana. It was a busy 3 days - jam packed with fun activities and lots of memory making experiences for the kids!

On Tuesday night we headed to the fair. Elizabeth did not like the pigs and wasn't sure about the cows. But she did finally get brave enough to pet a sheep. She wasn't exactly dressed for the county fair either. Check out her dress, sandals, and purse!! What a hoot!

All three kids chowed down on some cotton candy. They love that pure sugar!!

On Wednesday we went to visit Mamaw and Papaw Wellman. After a few hours of Tic-Tac-Putt and a card game or two, we headed back to Mamaw Burton's for a cookout. Jacob found the big dirt pile and spent a lot of time climbing and sliding down it. Can you say FILTHY?!?

Then of course came the sand box! Oh well, what's a little more dirt on layers and layers of dirt?

Zach had fun messing around with Uncle Jimmy. The love to aggravate each other!

When it was time to walk Mamaw Wellman to her car, Lizzie said she wanted to do it. That made Mamaw's day!

How do you get all those layers of dirt off? A bubble bath in Mamaw's "big tub" of course!

That night, the boys spent the night with Aunt Kelly and Uncle Cain. Uncle Cain stayed up until 1:30 a.m. playing video games with them. The next morning, they all took turns driving the golf cart.

Zach met and fell in love with Scooter the kitty. He begged to take it home, but we decided that it needed to stay at Aunt Kelly's and catch mice!

Thursday afternoon brought bowling with Aunt Kelly, Uncle Cain, and Uncle Chris. It was a good time, and Jake is already begging to go back soon!

Zach did pretty well - he beat me the second game!!

And Lizzie - well she pushed the ball down the lane. But her favorite thing was "drying her hands." It was pretty funny to see her push the ball and then run back to dry her hands. Her hair would fly from the air!
