The County Fair

This past weekend my sister Shellie and her hubby Joshua came to Oregon from Wyoming to visit the family. The girls and I decided to go to Hermiston again to see them and to also support Ashlynne and Myah who raised pigs this summer with their 4-H group, as well as a few other projects. We wanted to see them in action! Here is Emma and Sam with miss Myah.All the cousins and my sisters and brother came to the fair together. This picture is Emma and Samantha with Christian and Camryn at the show barn.
And here is Aunt Shellie with Myah. Aunt Shellie is one of the world's best aunties!
Here she is with little Eliza who is such a doll.
And of course, you can't forget Isaac!
We looked around at the animals and the other displays and then it was time to hit the carnival rides! The girls decided they wanted to go on the roller coaster. (All of their screaming gave me a screaming headache....)
Here is Karlie and Emma on a ride together. I don't know how they manage to not get sick on these rides. I can't go on anything anymore because it makes me feel horrible! I guess the kids are just tough!
You can't make a trip to the fair without stopping at the carousel. The kids loved it! Here is Karlie and Sam who were pretending the whole time that their horses were in an actual horse race. Too cute!
Emma had a great ride, too.
Lillie had her first carousel ride! She was bouncing up and down and laughing the whole time!
The bumper cars are definitely a must! This ride gave me a little insight as to what kind of driver Emma is going to be in eight years! YIKES!!!
Uncle Josh was a good sport and took miss Karlie in a car. I think he even let her drive, too. Watch out everyone! :)
After the fair we needed to do a lot of cooling off so we headed back to Stephanie's house for some swimming and a BBQ. After dinner we had a boys vs girls volleyball game. The girls totally kicked butt!
We had so much fun! The kids played so hard all day and then stayed up really late at Uncle Jon's house playing. They pretty much crashed the rest of the weekend which, as a mom, makes me very happy.
