The Oregon State Fair

Last Sunday we went to the Fair for the Doodlebops and some good ol' fair fun! Taylor had her friend Olivia there and they got to go on lots of rides this year, a big deal because last year they were both too short. All was good until the Balloon ride which went in the air about 6 feet, Taylor was terrified and holding on for dear life. I'm thinking she might be scared of heights like her Mom... poor thing. After rides we enjoyed some greasy fair food and listened to some Johnny Cash... er, I mean, Brandon Cash, who looked and did sound just like the real thing. Taylor loved dancing in front of the stage with all the other little girls, she enjoyed the Johnny Cash tunes even more than the Doodlebops... which makes sense, since she is an "old soul" as my Nana has always said. Near the end of our day we made a visit to every 4H barn at the fair and enjoyed the petting zoo despite being attacked by famished goats bigger than most ponies. After all that fun we were sick to our stomachs from cotton candy, corn dogs, fair noodles, deep fried twinkies, caramel apples and sno cones, we decided to call it a day and head home.
