Fun at the Fair!

I know I am totally supposed to be on bed rest, but since I just went to the doctor and everything was great and it was a beautiful day yesterday, my family and I ventured out to the Sandwich Fair. If you don't know what it is, it is this HUGE fair in Sandwich, IL. It's really not a bad drive. We went last year and it was awesome. So we went this year during the week, when we knew it wouldn't be as crowded. (I couldn't be the only one left to sit at home right?) This fair has everything-carnival rides, games, animals, petting zoos, crafts, tons of food, demolition derbys. Lonestar is even performing there tonight I think! And they have contests galore. They judge animals but they also have all these buildings of crafts, anitquues, pictures, food, and they judge them and have ribbons and everything. Chuck's favorite part was exploring all these campers. They have all these campers that you can walk through.

Anyways, here's some of what we did.

Gracie had fun playing the duck game. She got to pick 3 ducks. Even though she wanted to pick more, she won a prize anyways. She even got to pick the prize so she settled on this pink dolphin that aids her obsesssion with animals.

Gracie also rode the merry-go-round 2 times! This is her favorite ride. We told her that she would be riding one before we even got there so she kept reminding us "look for the merry-go-round." She rode it with Daddy and Auntie Amy.

She rode the train with Grandpa too!

And this-have you ever seen a cow this big? Holy cow!

And here is Gracie with the first place biggest pumpkin. It gets me excited for fall.

So that's our day of family fun. I am tyring to spend time doing as much fun things as I can with Gracie now because I already feel guilty that when these babies come, I won't have as much time to spend with her. It makes me sad and I want to soak up every minute of Gracie I can now. But I know I need to rest too. So today, I vow to stay off my feet and get some scrapbooking done.
