State Fair

Yes that is Keith - Right in front of us!:)

Ronnie asked me the question, "Do you think a place like California has a state fair?" My response, "Probably, but I doubt it is exactly like Kentucky's."

For those of you who have been, no explanation needed. Don't get me wrong, I love it and love the tradition of going with or meeting my parents there on opening day with the group they bring from church. However, you do see lots of interesting things. My dad and were commenting on how you have never really truly experienced people watching until you have experienced it at the fair! Everyone - I mean everyone - comes out for the fair!!!:)

Ella (and now Kinsley) love the animals and all the fun farm yard friends you can pet and watch. I'm sure the day will come where they care more about their shoes, the aroma, or what they might step in than the visiting the four legged friends, so I will relish these days while we have them! Ella got her "tricycle driver's license" from the KY State Police. I believe I was the only mom on the track with their 4 year old. We can either blame that on her inherited clumsiness (from me), or take it as a sign we need to practice riding the bike more! Of course, Ella's absolute favorite thing is the free stuff you can pick up at the booths. If they have chocolate candy, even better. She is a girl after my own heart!

So here are some pics from our fair days. Ronnie and I actually made a date night out of it this weekend and saw Keith Urban in concert. (Thanks uncle!) Ella saw the pictures on my camera and asked, "Who is the old man you let pick me up?" I could have explained it is our governor, but I just said, "Sorry - mommy shouldn't let strangers who are old men pick you up." That seemed easier!:)
