faulkner county fair

so a few weeks ago we went to the fair. this was of course bauer's first. vivian had been to the fair with her grandparents the previous week and LOVED the "daddy chickens". here she is giggling uncontrollably as they crow (this is something she did NOT inherit from me....i am disgusted and afraid of ALL birds! germs, germs, germs, eeeeewwwwww!)

but her newest love was the fishing pond...after a small fortune, ten minutes, and turning herself blue (why do they dye the water?) she won a blow up dora and a toy horn.

it was then on to her mother and daddy's favorite. ski-ball!! she took right to it....look at that pitch!

but of course, there was no greater thrill than riding the "ponies". daddy was kind enough to ride three times. (i managed to avoid this "thrill" due to the fact that bauer was in the bjorn!) we had a great time...the perfect size little fair for a first timer and a toddler.
