Gerogia National Fair 2017

Here are a few pictures from our days at the fair.  It is in town for eleven days.  We went one day as a family with the six kids at home.  Madeline and Mariah took their grandpa one day and we all went with McKenzie and her babies one day.  It was unseasonably warm that week, so not the most pleasant fair experience but we had fun!

 

They didn't upload in the right order, but one of the nights Marc took the kids on this huge Ferris wheel.

Free chocolate milk and a milking demonstration  in the cow barn is always a favorite!

 

  Bless her heart... out of all of my children I hated that Madeline got picked to participate in the reptile show.  She was a much better sport than I would've been!

Cotton.... it is growing all around us right now.  We will soon be watching the farmers across the street harvest it.

 My "Georgia grown" boy!

Soap carving contest! No winners in our family this year. :)

Mac with "Fair bear".

We were walking by one of the concert stages.  The music was so loud that little Elliott poked his lip out. As soon as I put the blanket around his head he grinned.

Free goat milk ice cream in the goat barn!

Madeline and Mariah entered sewing, crocheting and canning.  They won many ribbons!

Marc at the end of the day watching the fireworks.

Madeline entered this blanket that she made for Elliott.

Mariah next to her first place and "best of show" ribbons!

Just because.....  :)

Milking.... cause we don't have enough of that at home!

Thomas the Train booth is always a favorite!

                                         
                                                        cow eyes

Watching the African acrobats.

"The pigs stink!"

                                         Roller coaster time....

Goats.... again, because he doesn't see enough of them at home! :)

Mariah got a first place on this beautiful pillow!  I wish my mom was here to see!

Mac was just sure that this was Wilbur!

He loves the animals!

They had more fun climbing on tractors than they did riding the rides.

Pops showing Elizabeth the animals!

McKenzie and her mini Mariah.

Trying to cool off!  October, really!?!

Pops giving Elizabeth her first taste of chocolate milk.

Aunt "Nana" (as E calls her) took Elizabeth on some rides!
