Yesterday afternoon we went to THE FAIR!!!! It was the Comal County Fair here in New Braunfels. For all of you from SC, it was pretty small compared to the Coastal Carolina Fair. But, it was just perfect for Boo. When we arrived, we immediately went to the petting barn to check out all of the animals. I must admit, he was more interested in shuffling his feed in the wood chips than petting the animals, but once you got his attention, he was fine. I tell ya...Boys! :)
After the petting barn, we went to see if there were any rides he could ride. We were in luck! It was a great day. Hot, but great! I had all intentions of getting us an elephant ear to eat at the end, just like I used to do when I was a little girl...remember BeBe and Aunt R? But, it was just too stinkin' hot after all that we had done to eat one of those. So, we opted for a cherry lemonade. It was just what we needed and super delicious!

Petting the baby cow.
Trying to feed the sheep some wood shavings.
Petting the little chicks!
He might have a future as a chicken catcher...get it?When I asked him if he wanted to hold the chick, he grabbed it by the neck and was holding on tight! Poor chick! I immediately rescued it.
His first fair ride ever! The ever dangerous merry-go-round.
Riding the Big Ferris Wheel.
"Daddy, I think this thing is moving..."
A beautiful day!
He loved the rides.He didn't cry or anything when we walked away from him so they could start the rides.
Vroom! Vroom!Here are some videos:
Riding the merry go round.
Going down the Big Slide with Daddy.
He loved this one!
The little fishy ride. You'll just have to ignore B-man and myself yelling, "G".
We were trying to get his attention. He wouldn't look for anything.
Race car ride. Same disclaimer about our shouting...
I think this might have been his best day ever.

So glad you all got to go & had fun!! We were a little bummed that the petting zoo and rides were closed when we were there. We will definitely go back next year though. You all will have to check out the SA Rodeo in February too!!! SO much fun (and there are military days so the rides are a little cheaper!)!
Looks like everyone had a great time. Don't you wonder what was going through his mind while 'driving' the car and riding the fish?? Grady is so precious. So glad B has been stateside to enjoy these times too. The years go by so quickly. Thanks again for sharing. Love to All, A. Lori & U. Steve
So cute! I especially love the first picture on the Ferris Wheel. Adorable!
And YOU look fantastic! Miss you!
Can't wait to be able to go to a fair with him also. You know how much I luv-v-v fairs. Glad ever one had a great time and the baby chicks survived his loving hold :)
And, he looks too cute in those lace up shoes!
Love BeBe
So much fun! Glad y'all had a good time!
