The Fair!

Dear Kate,

On Saturday, we had plans to go to the Williamson County Fair.  I heart the fair, like major heart it, and when we walked out the door to get in the car and saw it suddenly downpour, my heart was broken.  At first I tried to deny it, so we all got in the car and headed that way, but Daddy insisted that his weather man tweeter guy was right and our fair day was going to be blah if we went.  So, we met up with Kipper and fam at Goofballs!  It's like the fair, right?  NO - it's not.  But we still had a blast!  You loved riding the carousel over and over again.  

 And loved playing all the games, too!  

 You did a little dancing!

 And shot some hoops with Daddy!

 You were so awesome, that you walked away with tickets!! I think that was your favorite part, putting the tickets in the machine that counts them for you.

 After a couple hours at Goofballs, we headed to Tzaiki's or something Greek like that for lunch and then home for naps/baths.  While it wasn't the fair, it was fun spending some time with the fam.  After naps, we quickly got showered and ready for a baseball game.  Daddy's work had a special family night at the Sounds and we got to go enjoy dinner and face painting, oh and baseball.  It turned into a beautiful evening weather wise and we all had a great time, minus the small encounter you had with Ozzie, the mascot.  You did not like that 'bear'.  You would wave at him, but if you got close, panic attack no doubt!!  No clue where you get that from (SISTER!!!!).  Other than that, you had a great time running that place, I mean running AROUND that place :)  Daddy's co-workers just went on and on about how stinkin' cute you were.  You thankfully got out all your tantrums earlier so it was indeed a good night!!
Sunday came and Mommy insisted we got to the fair, but I also insisted it had to be after naps.  So, we ran a few errands that morning which included a trip to Old Navy, the Dollar Tree and a VERY quick trip to Best Buy, all with Daddy in tow.  I like doing these errands with him so he can see why it's so hard for me to 'just stop by here' when I have the 2 of you!!
So after naps, we jumped in the car and headed to the fair with nothing but sunshine in our eyes!!!  While you are still just a little too short to do most rides, there were 3 or 4 that you could do, and boy did you LOVE them!!!  You rode the boats with Sister and Ellie and then again with Kipper and Sister and I even think you did it again in there somewhere!

 Then there was Nemo which you loved, too!

Oh you were having so much fun on those rides!  You wanted to do the bigger ones but we'll have to wait for DisneyWorld to enjoy all those!  Thankfully you were a good sport and watched Sister ride them, though!  You were also very proud of your stamp on your hand and you and Daddy had a secret stamp club where every time you'd see him you'd rub your hand on his hand, stamp to stamp.  Daddy said that was your secret handshake.  

 We enjoyed the afternoon which eventually turned into evening and ate a good healthy dinner (absolutely not true) and then you and Daddy headed home while Mommy and Sister stayed a little bit longer to enjoy just a few more rides.  Next year I think you will be tall enough to ride all of them, or at least all the kiddy ones!!  

I'm so happy you love rides like Mommy.  I can't wait to post a picture of me and you on a roller coaster :)

Love you and the fair!
