Our county fair was this past week. To say that it was busy is a understatement. Monday evening i was there until almost 10:00P, helping load in pigs. Tuesday started bright and early like usual with being there at 5:30A to start weighing pigs in, then heading to the Extension Center to make the back tags, home for a quick shower and to pick up Mr. C, then back to the fair for the show. Thank goodness for my mom, otherwise i wouldn't be able to help and volunteer this week as much as i have been able to. My mom came and spent the night after she worked on Monday evening so that she could take Lil Miss C to the sitter and watch Littlest C for me since i can not drop off until 6:30A and we aren't taking Littlest C there yet. Wednesday we headed to the fair with the girls after Mr. C got off work. We grabbed a bite to eat and found out seats in the bleachers for the Antique Tractor & Truck pulls. The girls and i were able to watch for a lil bit, but then it got to load and we left and ventured down to the rides.

and the jet-skies...
Littlest C enjoying all the rides as well! She did amazing, didn't get fussy at all.
It is really hard to snap good pictures of Lil Miss C riding rides, so these were the best i had. We only had one time that she took off from me to go ride another ride and luckily it was when we were with some friends so they were able to watch Littlest C while i chased after Lil Miss C and reminded her not to take of but to wait for mommy.
Thursday evening is always a late night, as it is Auction night. This year was no different, didn't get home until 3:00A. Again thank goodness for my mom watching the girls for us.
Friday evening is our fun night for the Big Truck and Tractor Pull. My mom watched the girls for us, and CJ was home and was our driver for the evening. It's always a fun evening and this year we sat with some friends that we haven't visited with in a while and found out that they are expecting!!! We also talked with our friend GH who's daughter Vi is just 4 months older than Lil Miss C and they have an extra turtle for the races in the morning. So we decided that we would come in the morning with the girls for the turtle races.

and we ended up with 3rd place!
After the turtle races we grabbed some lunch and rode a few rides and headed home for some naps and yard work before returning that evening for the demo derby. After the demo derby was over we took Lil Miss C to ride the rides and play some games.
Our Lil Miss Adventurer just had to ride the swings... She had a blast and it was so fun to watch her.
Until next year, this year is in the books.
