I had Cailin out in her walker again.

She walked all the way down the driveway.

Until she got to the street!

Cailin on the Grass

We've had some really nice days. The weather has been extremely mild and so we have been able to spend alot of time outside. I put Cailin down to play in the grass.



And she started to crawl all around.

Eating grass

This was my first time setting Cailin down on the lawn. She was reaching down and touching the grass.

She started pulling the grass out of the ground by the handful.


Then she found her some she liked......

and before I could stop her, she actually ate the grass!

Fair Exhibits

Once, inside the fair we went to the see some of the exhibits. This is a church built in the late 1800's or early 1900's in Florida.

This was inside the school......


and at the well.

Bear Show


We watched the Bear Show. These bears are native to Florida. I am always conflicted about the capturing of animals and training them to perform for our entertainment. After the show, you were allowed to come to the front and take pictures.

The Fair Animals

We came across this tent. You paid 50 cents per person to see the smallest horse and largest pig.

This pig was huge! There was a flimsy gate separating us from the pig. He had gigantic teeth that stuck out from his mouth. Ariel and I both agreed that if he was to awaken that we would both run.


This horse would not look up! He seemed to be preoccupied with eating whatever was on the ground.

Fair Rides



This was our second day at the State Fair. Ariel had a day out of school and I wasn't working so we went to the fair. I forgot the camera at home the first night we went. She rode the rides by herself because we had Cailin with us. I shot most of the pictures while holding Cailin because she refused to ride in her stroller.
This ride went back and forth on a ring until it finally gained enough momentum to go completely around the ring and upside down. Ariel rode up front and she said that inside the cage she didn't have a seat belt and while upside down her head would hit the top of the cage. She went on and on about how it was so scary. This was right before she rode a second time!

Huge Slide



Ariel says she was a little afraid on this slide. She says that every time she would go over the bumps in the slide, she would fly into the air.

Bumper Cars



Cailin yelling

We were waiting outside the bumper cars for Ariel's ride to end. They were playing loud music which caused Cailin to start yelling along with the song and waving her hands.


She has funnel cake aound her mouth! I only gave her a little bit though.
