Montgomery County Agricultural Fair

 We had a long list of things to do this summer to help Madeline figure out when the baby was coming; Nathaniel's wedding, the beach, moving, Michigan and then the fair.  Well, we made it to the fair on Wednesday night.  The kids and I went a little early to get the cheaper ride passes and then Andrew met us there after work.  So, the kids enjoyed dinner in the stroller while we walked around looking at all the animals.  We saw some sheep, pigs and rabbits and then Madeline said she had seen enough animals.  We could see the cows and chickens from the path and she said that was good enough.  She just wanted to ride the rides.  

We were super excited to see Daddy and he got to ride all the rides with the kids.

We got rained on a little.  But, it was mostly a great evening.

Oliver couldn't ride some of the rides because he wasn't tall enough.  It made him super sad until we played, "Madeline? Where are you?" (he actually calls her "Nah Nah") and every time she would ride by, he would laugh hysterically.  

He did get to ride the carousel


It's always a favorite.  

Ice cream helped to make waiting in the lines a little easier.

Madeline was sweet to find rides that Oliver could do to.  He was so excited to drive the cars.  

Madeline jumped on this slide and started heading down before Daddy and Oliver even had a chance to sit down.  This was one of her favorite things.  


I don't know what you really call this.  It was some kind of mazy-playhouse that ended with a slide.  Another favorite. 

Madeline wanted to do the Ferris wheel all night.  I am not big on heights.  So, Andrew took the kids up 

  and I stayed on the ground getting lots of comments about how I must be having a boy or twins.  Neither of which are true. (unless we are in for some surprises on Monday) Good times.
 So, now that everything is checked off our list, we are just waiting on baby girl to make her appearance on Monday.

I love the ferris wheel pics at the end, Naomi.

It's fun counting down with the kids, isn't it? We can't wait to meet her too!

Why do people feel the need to say anything about pregnant bellies to strangers...seriously? You are a very kind person because I would have pummeled anyone who thought I was having twins if I were you :-) Looking foward to meeting Ruby!
