Fall Fun: Gwinnett County Fair!

ATTENTION: I will be doing my best to catch up on some things from this year. So be ready for several posts in the next week or so. Check back often!

We have had a BLAST so far this fall. There have been three big events we've gone to, each deserving of their own posts. I'll try to catch up by starting with the first: The Gwinnett County Fair. Oh, the carnies! the food! the rides! the 4-H petting zoo! the gideons who give me 8 bibles... i love you all!

This year, my Mom and Mommie (grandmother) wanted to go to see how the baby did. I know she's not a "baby" anymore, but somehow thats become almost like a name for her. hehe. So, they met us up there. We had already gone through the petting zoo (which was the HIGHLIGHT of the evening for Rhyan!) but they hung out with us the rest of the evening. I'll try to caption the pics and let them tell the story of the fun times!

We started out in the barn where Rhyan had fun checking out the oxen and cows... "mmmmm"
Then, to the petting zoo. she loved the baby chicks!
That little goat wanted to nibble her finger.... she didnt mind :-)
Beautiful blue eyes loved the ducks. Quack Quack!
This little fella about chewed her hand! "Owww" she said! No more petting him!
On to the carousel! She seemed to really enjoy it...

Rhyan and Grandmother... after grandmother had saved her from the roller coaster that scared her half to death (she wasnt on it, just standing beside it when it started up! i've never seen her run so fast!!!)

After getting a bite to eat (pinto's and cornbread, watch out!), Rhyan decided it was time to get her teeth whitened at the exhibit! I think you're a little young for that, missy!
Rhyan and Daddy checking out our dream jeep. Anybody got about 30k we can have?!
Finally, after a long evening of playing hard at the fair, she took a moment to make a few phone calls to let everyone else know how great it was and that they should come, too!
