Darke County Fair

Following a yearly tradition from my childhood, we went to the Darke County Fair today. It was ridiculously hot, so we took lots of water and sunscreen and enjoyed a really nice day. There was lots to see, several places to cool off, yummy food to eat, and rides to ride. I think I gave birth to 2 daredevils because Jacob and Ellie loved the "big people" rides (as long as Daddy or Aunt Katie rode with them). Here are some of the highlights:

This was taken moments before Spiderman fell to the ground. Luckily, Nathan had bought an extra one!

This was Emmaline's first ride on the merry-go-round.

See you at the fair next year!

Ahhh....the fair. I wouldn't be able to stomach the rides anymore, but would have fond memories of everything else. My next door neighbor went last Tuesday, she grew up in Darke county, isn't that funny?
