First time for both of us

I have lived here for almost 11 years and have NEVER been to the State Fair! I can't believe it! So today I took Olivia (a day for just the two of us) and we met Stef and Aiden (Ethan is in school) for a day at the fair!

"Look mom, my drink matches my dress and my eyes!"



Olivia loved running through the stands! I told her this is where the concerts are and she just loved it!



Trying to decide....game or ride, game or ride... in the end she got both!




The Nascar ride.. The semi ride... (notice she chose the purple one) :)
I should have had Stef take a picture of us! This is the only one I took for the two of us.
Climbing the tractors....This one was taken right before she pushed the button that STARTED THE TRACTOR!!! See the "Wonder what this button does?" look on her face? opps!




Olivia's favorite part was the pony ride, and her pony was named "Starbucks"! Too funny!


Olivia and Aiden really enjoyed watching the young equestrians in the practice arena.



It was a great day, lots of walking, talking and watching the kids have a ball. Next year I want to take Logan too.


On the way home:


Olivia: "Mom, there is alot of commotion at the fair!"
Me: "You are right! It is a busy place"
Olivia: "What IS commotion?"
