LaPorte Fair July 2012

It's that time of year where I take Addie to one of the things I loved as a kid.... Fairs!!!  We went to 3 fairs this year.  The Laporte county fair, St. Joseph County Fair and Elkhart County Fair.  Thanks to Uncle TOny for the free tickets to the Laporte fair.  We also went to the Elkhart COunty Fair on their free day.  that saved about $40 right there!

This year I didn't know what to expect with Addison to see if she would go on the rides herself because last year we tried and they had to stop the ride immediately.  She didn't like being alone and not being able to see us.  This year was a different story... she LOVED them.  Another sign my little girl is growing up and getting a little bit independent.  She loved the firetruck that went up in the air.  The motorcycles, the roller coaster ride and of course her favorite the carousel. 

Grammie went with us to the Laporte fair since Gramps was working.  It was just the 3 of us for the St. Joe fair and then Grandma joined us for the Elkhart fair. 

Some stories  from the fair...

Addie learned about sex education from the rabbits...

We tried fishing and got the worm (with hook) stuck in her hair and she didn't freak...

She wanted to see the horses, but freaked at the size of them and I had to pick her up when she got super close to them. She got her own personal horse lesson from Hannah with Chelsey, the horse.
