2009 Lincoln County Fair

Last weekend, we went to my hometown so that we could attend the Lincoln County Fair, one of the highest rated county fairs in the state! Thankfully it was one of the few days where we had no rain. I had so much fun going to the fair when I was growing up and I love seeing my kids have the same experience. Kaitlyn was definitely able to enjoy the fair more this year than last year. She happily petted a baby cow and a pony.

This is as close as she would get to the sheep. They were a little too big for her taste.

She rode two rides this year: the merry-go-round and the helicopters. And Daddy got the "joy" of riding both of them with her. He could barely fit in the helicopter, but she couldn't ride it by herself.

She was pretty nervous about the helicopter at first. Good thing Daddy was there to reassure her. She loved looking down and waving to me and Gran. Can you see her in the window?

Ethan doing what he does best...watching Kaitlyn. He was pretty fascinated by the helicopters too.

No trip would be complete with something Dora. She "won" this at one of the games. After a night full of farm animals, rides, horse races and junk food, she was pretty bleary-eyed at the end. But not too tired to clutch the Dora ball and smile for the camera.

And here's a picture of Kaitlyn and my mom at a local park. Overall, the weekend was a lot of fun. It was our first overnight trip with both kids, and I must say that it's more challenging traveling with two little ones. Hopefully it'll get easier as they get older!
