Brown County Fair

Last nite we headed out to visit Grandma Mimi and Grandpa John and went to the first nite of the Brown County Fair. This is the second largest fair in Ohio (so I'm told) and apparently warrants a week off of school. So, we went for the parade last nite... a first for Mom!... and headed out to the fair after a short nap and some juice... and a lollipop. :-)

Spending time with cousin Chole. Miss Chloe is expecting a new little brother or sister come March. She has decided on Snowball if it is a boy or Spaghetti if it is a girl. Tinkerbell or Charlotte are in the running as well.

taking a ride...

nothing beats a flying naked and hot baby

here comes the parade!

princesses!

mmmmm...lollipop. (side note: i'm convinced Dad only wanted to go for the parade to get the MASSIVE amounts of candy that everyone hands out.)

no more parade... nap time!

pony ride!

come here you little duck. i want a sparkle wand!

riding the merry-go-round... a much better experience this time!
