A Day at the Fair...


Happy Fall Ya'll!! Landon and I agree that fall is our most favorite season of all. And, what better way to spend a fall day than going on a field trip to the fair with your family. Well, part of that is true. Landon and I have never really been fans of the sights,smells and well I'll go ahead and say overall classiness of a fair type atmosphere..does that sound snobby?


There's something about having a toddler that makes you want to experience different places and things together. Grandmama and Poppy asked us to all go to the fair on Saturday to join them after their shift at the McCain/Palin booth. When I heard they had a petting zoo and carosel rides, I knew the experience would be enjoyable for Miller. So, we loaded up the car this afternoon and trecked to Jim Miller Park for the North GA State Fair with grand plans and big ideas for our day ahead.
Miller soaked up all the sights and smells. He even chimed in with the squealing he heard from the passengers on the rides. We met many animals at the petting zoo including "too-tles", and "baa baa's". Miller was intrigued by the camel and zebra too!


We ate dinner...traditional fair, fare and then dined on funnel cakes for dessert. Miller couldn't get enough of this sweet treat. He had powdered sugar all over. The highlight of the night was Miller's first ride on the Merry Go Round. Giddy Up! He loved it so much that we rode it with him twice! Most of the time,our little cowboy held on to his wild horsey for dear life. Every time he would pass his fan club, he would search in the crowd and distracting rides to find his onlookers and then laugh. Yee Haw!

Hey Miller, Looks like you had an awesome time at the fair! Too bad we don't live closer or we could get together and wear our matching brown and white Polos ... we would be soooo cool!

We are so jealous. We didn't make it this year to the fair. It is one of Grace's favorite things to do. She loves all the rides and going with the grandparents means eating anything you want. Glad you had fun, it wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be.
