Georgia National Fair 2016

For a week and a half the biggest fair in the state invades our tiny town!  We love to see it come.... and love to see it go! :)
 
 
This year we got to go as a family one full day, I took the younger kids another day, and Matthew and Madeline went a couple of times by themselves.


The kids always enter the soap carving contest. 






The day that I took the kids, McKenzie, Elizabeth and Pa joined us!


We always love going off to our favorite quiet spot for a picnic.


Hanging out watching the horse shows.



The little boys love visiting the Thomas the Train booth.


Great-Grandpa with sweet little Elizabeth.


I think he was concerned about those huge horns!


Both of the girls won several ribbons. They entered canning, crocheting and sewing.
 

Checking out the "Georgia Grown" building... one of my favorites!



 A pretty random picture of Macheus and Pa. :)


Matthew is very into politics. :)  (Disclaimer... I am not a fan of Trump!) :)

She placed on both of these blankets.  She made one of them for Elizabeth and the other is being tucked away in her hope chest.



Sweet Myles......

Not a very good picture, but the only one of me and Marc. :)


Love that Mariah is really starting to take off with her homemaking skills!


Checking out the dairy cows.



                                                       Taking a break! :)




This makes me laugh.  We took this "selfie" before the circus started.  We ended up leaving because it was so crude!  My dad was so confused. :)


My crew.... minus McKenzie!
 

                                               me and my boy....


                                    Madeline Grace with Elizabeth Grace.


This one cracks me up too.  We were in line for the circus along with hundreds of others.  When the line started to move McKenzie said, "Ok, Pa... push and shove!"  He just laughed. :)


Every year the kids get these nasty slushies!



Loving on the sheep.




This little fellow is so full of life!


More horse shows...............






Watching a late show.



 
 
 

Goodbye fair.... See you next year!
