Cotton Pickin' Fair

Last weekend, Donald and I bundled Emily into the car for a trip to the Cotton Pickin' Fair in Gay, Georgia. We took her last year and she had a great time until we entered nap zone - then she turned into a wily monster who screamed until we strapped her back into the car and drove home! That didn't happen this year. Instead, she seemed determined to wring every ounce of fun from every minute we spent there. She collapsed once we got home and begged to "roll up" (her slang for nap) as soon as we got inside the house. She had a great time at the fair and spent lots of time in the jumping booth, ate lots of cotton candy, bought several obscenely expensive hair bows, and even got to ride a pony! She told me later that the pony pooted on her. Oh well, I guess all fun comes with a price! Enjoy the pictures of our Georgia girl!

Finishing up my corndog - Yum!

Stopping for a drink and a rest


Cotton candy - nothing better than sugar in a bag!


She liked these swings because they had cupholders.

Jumping! I swear some of these children were just dropped off by parents who left them to go and shop!


Purple - her signature color! She wiped it off in the car on the way home.
