Little Ladybug's Journey: Clark County Fair 2012

Mommy's cute little horse

Well, this past Saturday Emily had her very first experience with a fair. I guess we could've picked a day that wasn't as HOT, but scheduling-wise Saturday was the best choice possible! Yes, we were at the Clark County Fair when it was 102 degrees!!!

Emily had a BLAST going on the Tilt-a-Whirl more than once, the Big Panda ride, the Swings (which she went on by herself), a pony ride, and petting LOTS of animals. She got to pet ponies, cows, goats, pigs, llamas, a baby rooster, and bunnies. She probably loved petting animals and feeding the goats more than the rides, although she did enjoy riding on the rides with her auntie JuJu. Mommy doesn't do too many rides without getting nauseous. Thank goodness for JuJu. Emily had her first fair corn dog, yummy ice cold watermelon, french fries, and some tastes of DELICIOUS Dairy Wives shakes. She loved the peach and cookies and cream flavors.

One of the best parts of the day was watching the Dock Dogs National competition of water jumping dogs! Totally cute and fun to watch! Wow...some of the dogs jumped so far! Cool!

A HUGE thank you to Grandma Judi for meeting us at the fair and staying with us the whole time in that terrible heat! Emily LOVES you grandma Judi!! Thanks for helping to make her first fair experience memorable!

Well, by about 2:45 mommy was not feeling well, so we had to get going. The heat had taken it's tole. I didn't think I could make it to the car. It was so hot, and watching those rides go round and round wasn't helping! Emily, I believe, could've lasted much longer, but our goal was to stay until 3:00 since Emily also had swimming that day at 5:30. Fun was had by all, and next year we'll definitely have to go on a day not so hot so the wee one can stay longer. She LOVED it!
Enjoy,
