Cleveland County Fair

The beginning of September brings the Cleveland County Fair and happiness to the lives of Layla and Jenna.  Of course, the beginning of September also brings college football, so the girls put on their cheer uniforms and we headed to the fairgrounds.  

"We've arrived!  Now, let's get this party started!"

Jenna: "Wow!  Get a load of this tire!"

Layla: "It's the perfect spot to take a load off!"

Layla: "Carousel!  Totally hit the mother load right off the bat!  Love me some white pony time!"

Jenna: "Looking so smooth on my white bunny!"

After we pried the girls off the carousel, we opted for a ferris wheel ride.  Jenna was a little hesitant at first...

...but loosened up quickly.

Jenna: "Um, sir...can we get some more tickets to ride the carousel again?"

"We've got our tickets and we're the first in line!  Must be our lucky day!"

Layla: "Go, spotted doggie, go!"

Jenna: "Now it's my turn to see how fast this white pony can go!"

Time out for a corn dog!

In true Layla fashion, the breading was shed...guess that's how she keeps her girlish figure.  

"Let's scope out all of the vendors, Daddy!"

Of course, you can't go to the county fair without checking out the livestock!

Layla: "Now that's a first place duck if I've ever seen one!"

Jenna: "Wonder what kind of ribbon we would earn?"

Layla: "Look at me!  I'm so brave!!!"

Jenna: "Look at you!  You're so brave!"

Layla: "Finally, a turn on the giraffe...I've been eyeing this fella' all day!"

Jenna: "Ahhh...hair blowing in the breeze, riding the spotted doggie...doesn't get any better than this!"

The girls really had a fantastic time at the county fair.  It's always fun to attend an annual event and see how differently the girls react from year to year.  Here are a couple of pics from one year ago...

Isn't it amazing how time flies?!?!?!
