fair, family, fun

We had such a great day at the State Fair today!! Daycare was closed so Derek and I took the day off to take the girls to the fair. Grannie and Poppy joined us since they love the fair or do they just love the turkey legs?!!
We hit up the auto show first. The girls loved being able to climb through all the cars and not get yelled at. Both had to 'drive' the cars and then pretend to put on makeup using the mirror. Hilarious!



The funniest part was when Grace wanted me to shut her in the trunk of one of the SUVs.
On our walk over to the dog show, the girls spotted these cut outs so we stopped to take photos.



We really enjoyed the dog show. I think the girls liked the popcorn more then the show. Actually, Ava liked it and asked me "do we get a dog now?" haha! Um...No! My favorite part was Nubs, the 3 legged dog, that jumped into the water. He was really good but the name cracked me up!



Everyone that goes to the State Fair has to have a Fletcher's Corny Dog. It's the best corny dog!! The girls got to experience a Fletcher's today and they loved it.





Poppy got a turkey leg and the girls helped him eat it. Grace tore into that turkey leg and got everything off the bone.



The girls got tired so we started having to carry them. Ava told Derek her feet hurt. We checked out the African Acrobats show and the bird show. The girls got bored so we had to move on to the Midway.
The girls got to go on 3 rides, the motorcycles, ladybug roller coaster and racecars.


Derek enjoyed riding the roller coaster with the girls. It went really fast and then went really fast backwards. The girls screamed the whole time but loved it.

The racecar ride was their favorite. The ride went in circles but on the curves it went fast and threw them around. They were laughing so hard.

We had fried cookie dough and a turkey leg before leaving the fair. Grace and Ava killed that turkey leg!!


The girls were so exhausted by the time we left, Grannie and Poppy had to carry them to the car.

Such a fun day with the girls, Grannie and Poppy. The girls fell asleep on the way to drop Grannie and Poppy off back at home.
