Baxter County Fair

Last week the county fair was in town.
On Wednesday I took the kids to the fair parade. It was too windy for Bailey, so she stayed in the car with Nanny. It actually got cool last week so Tanner and I wore sweatshirts to the parade. Tanner was enthralled with the parade this year. He clapped for the different floats and danced when the bands marched past. He loved picking up the candy that was thrown. It was so fun to watch him enjoying himself.

The kids and I after the parade- Bailey looks so happy huh?


The next day Chris and I took Tanner to the fair. Nanny watched Bailey again since she is a little young. Although, not much more than the fair food appeals to me, I knew Tanner would LOVE it. He didn't disappoint either. He was all smiles while we were there and he was exhausted by the time we left. We rode the toddler roller coaster, the fun slide and the carousel. We actually did the fun slide about 3 times because Tanner loved it so much. Last year he was only big enough for the carousel and dizzy dragons- this year he could do a few more rides.
Before we rode rides though, we went to the animal exhibits and got dinner. I love me some Kiwanis burger! SOO DELICIOUS! Before we left we grabbed some more yummy fair food. Tanner was a big fan of the cotton candy and caramel apples.
So excited to leave for the fair

takin' it all in- we pulled up and the first thing Tanner said was "Whoa"

All tuckered out

I'd say the fair was a huge hit this year and we look forward to taking both kids next year!
Aren't these two kids the sweetest?
