Fallon County Fair

We had a great fair weekend, it seemed like we were going nonstop! Thursday evening, Neil was in the Motor Mania where they did an appliance race and car soccer. It was a blast to watch and Neil said it was fun to compete in.

Saturday was a very busy day starting with the parade. Kynlie made out like a bandit with the candy and she even knows that you can open it when you pick it up off the street!

 After the parade, Kynlie and Sterling were in the Pet Parade. Kynlie was a chef and Sterling was a hot dog. They won owner look alike and best holiday attire awards and Kynlie got two crisp $2 bills!

After the pet parade, we went to the rodeo, then took Kynlie through the petting zoo. She wasn't sure what to think of the animals, she liked petting some of them but wasn't too sure about most of them. It was a great petting zoo!

 After the petting zoo, Neil took Kynlie on the Carousel. She LOVED it! She was petting the horse the whole time!

After the rides, we went over to Mettler's for supper, then sat on their back deck and listened to the night show.

Sunday we went to another rodeo and Kynlie wore her "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" cowgirl outfit that Grandma O'Donnell bought her for the rodeo. I thought her old boots fit her but they were too small so she got some new boots, that she is VERY proud of  and she wore her belt that Great Grandpa Rustad had made for her. He gave her one of his belt buckles that he won in 1974 so it was pretty neat that it finally fits her! She thought she was pretty cool in her cowgirl outfit and I must say, she was pretty adorable!

After the rodeo, we went back over for the demolition derby. This was the first time since Neil was 15 or 16 that he did not derby in Baker but he was back in the pits helping out. The derby was fun to watch but I enjoy them a lot more when Neil is driving! Kynlie was so tired from two days of no naps and late nights that she fell asleep during the derby and has not woke up yet! It is almost 11 am and she is still snoozing away, and yes, she is still breathing, I have checked a few times!

It was a great weekend, we ate some awesome fair food and enjoyed all the activities but I am sure glad it is over! We are just going to play catch up this week, then Thursday, Kynlie and I are off to Bismarck for her follow up Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy appointments, then an eye appointment on Friday.
