At the beginning of October we
met my Aunt Sharon
and Cousin Katie
at the Cotton Pickin' Fair.
The past couple of times we have gone to
the Cotton Pickin' Fair all
the kids were so little
we just pushed them
around, slowly browsing at
all the wonderful vendors, and shopped!
BUT this year I learned
that they have grown
up and have more of an opinion on
what they want to do!
So.... it turned into a fun day filled
with kiddie activities and
very little shopping
and browsing.
We started with the puppet show.
It was actually very good.
The kids loved it!
We ate yummy food
like funnel cakes and
footlong corn-dogs!
I ran into my good
college friend
Melissa and her boys!
The kids got to experience
porta-potties for the 1st time!
Roman begged to do the
jumpy thing. There was no way
I thought he would actually do it
but he proved me wrong!
He LOVED it!
Nixon did it too!
Katie, Isla, and Lottie
just watched!
We then rode the ponies!
Lottie was content riding in
the stroller!
The kids ate
cotton candy for a treat!
Lottie had cotton candy
for the 1st time!
The kids were very tired
and honestly didn't like all the
walking. Jared didn't like missing a
day of football but we
all had a great time!
By mid-afternoon,
Roman and Lottie had had
enough and went
on to the car.
Jared gladly took them. :)
But the girls wanted their
faces painted!
Nixon wanted a flower.
Isla wanted to be a doggy!
Although it wasn't what I expected,
it was a great day!
We left the Cotton Pickin' Fair
and met Aunt Sharon and
Katie at The Bulloch House.
This is my favorite place
to eat near Phenix City.
It was extra
delicious this evening.
I love their fried
green tomatoes
& apples!
We got there
and it wasn't open yet
so we got to spend
time visting and
playing!
Horseshoes!
We tried taking a family
picture after dinner but it didn't
go too well!
It was such a treat to
visit with
Aunt Sharon & Katie.
The girls had a great time spending
the night with them in their
hotel and going to Calloway
Gardens the next day.
We look forward to seeing them
when they come to Dallas for a visit!
We will miss the Cotton Pickin' Fair
but I am sure we can kind
find something similar
in Texas!
We love you Aunt Sharon and
Cousin Katie! :)
