County Fair

We took the kids to the county fair two weeks ago. They loved it - actually we all did. Marissa really wants to start 4-H this year - I would prefer to wait one year though - we'll see. She would like to show one of her chickens or Isabella -our dog :)


Marissa really worked hard before the fair doing chores and helping me out. She wanted to earn money for games/pony ride/face painting. We told her we could only pay for rides so she earned money for the rest. She was so proud that she worked hard all week and had enough of her own money to pay for the things she wanted to do. She even paid for Kyle to do extra stuff. She is such a thoughtful, caring sister.

Marissa also had a dance show there where she did a lyrical dance with a scarf. She did great. She has so much more confidence now and way less stage fright - it's so exciting to see your children overcome things that used to scare them.


I went on a lot of the rides with Kyle until he got comfortable enough to go with just Marissa.

Me, Kyle, Hannah and Marissa - spinning!


Marissa's favorite thing to do was the Super Slide - she went several times by herself
Marissa got her face painted - heart on one cheek & a rainbow on the other.

Kyle got a shark painted on his arm. He was pretending to be a shark and kept acting like he was going to bite the clowns hand! So silly!
