Great Expectations and Cotton Candy

We had a blast all day today at the county fair. The boys and I arrived about noon, played all day. R joined us after he finished work. I have a million great pics, I'll try and choose the highlights. :)

In case any of you are wondering, though I think it'd be a better use of cyber-space, I'm afraid that if I make a slide show it will one day expire, and that would be terrible as I have high hopes that my sweet boys will be able to look back on this blog for decades. (That is, if the internet doesn't expire as well)

So...drum roll, please...

E goes bobbing for apples and comes out a winner.


J gives it a shot too, but to no avail. :(


N and J wait with amazing patience for a jump house wrecking ball "ride."


E waits with amazing patience for his brothers


E is the littlest actor (bear) in the "let's pretend" circus.


And J is a clown. Nate and I preferred to be part of the participating audience.


The boys congratulate each other for a graceful performance.


The fattest ice cream bars I've ever seen. Makes one feel almost okay about spending $3 on a bar.


Snow cone for N. Blueberry, of course.



E gets a pony ride.



The boys and their dad await the rodeo with expectations and cotton candy.


A nice grandma-lady offers to take a photo of the family. Take it from me, if you ever need help, look for a nice grandma lady!


Delight on N, R and J on the ferris wheel over the fair.


...and sometimes my little ones still hold me tight in the sunset. Makes mama so happy!

Looks like it was a FUN time! In your family pic:
1. You look so beautiful
2. Joey looks so much like Eli!

You girls are so sweet. I hear a lot that Eli looks like Joe, it's fun to hear the other. :) Thanks Karyn.

What fun!! The day we scheduled to go to the fair, Josie threw up. We'll try to hit the Crook County Fair this Wednesday, though. Awesome pictures!!
