Scott County Fair Time

Another Fair has come and gone... Ribbons were won, rides were conquered, food was devoured, fun was had, and memories were made.  We had a great time visiting four out of five days of this year's fair.  Carson had fun just taking it all in, and Cooper and Izzy's highlights included pony rides, checking on the animals each day, and of course... The derby.  It was really hard to choose from the literally 100 photos I took in four days, but here is a sampling of our weekend:

Izzy's Champion Brocolli 

Cooper's blue ribbon potatoes 

Cheesers!!

Straw Dive.  They both enjoyed throwing straw more than they liked hunting for the wooden coins.

Machinery Hill.  Carson is going to do the mowing:)

These two...!

First ride in the brand new carousel

In the wrap was his FAVORITE!!   He loved to see everything!

Cooper wanted to pet every animal he could.

Izzy thought the best place to milk a cow from was underneath...

Cooper's derby car--getting ready to load up!

Dad and the kids on derby day!!


Sorry little guy, not yet!!


They got to enjoy a few rides

Derby night was a BLAST!!  Cooper loved smashing!

And he even got a trophy, which was by far the best part :)

Thumbs up!

I got to drive Kennys old wagon, and ended up smashing the watermelon, finishing in 4th out of 7, and got the Heavy Hitter award.  Not too bad for a driving a 'cobbled together' car!!

Jeremy did great but ended earlier than he liked by getting hung up.  He also got the watermelon and finished in 5th of 19.

Izzy got mini donuts out of grandpa by saying out of the blue while sitting across from the donut stand, "Gampa, I sure wike mini donuts!"

Counting ribbons

Checking out the damage

I had a blast actually spending time with my family at the fair this year... No more office for me :)  We can't wait till next year!!
