Coweta County Fair

The rest of our week at the beach was so nice. It was great going in September - cooler temps and not crowded at all. We left Hilton Head Saturday and went back to Georgia to spend some time with Nona. Mema came into town on Monday. That evening we went to the Coweta County Fair. If you haven't been to the Fair before, you must go! Everything is so clean and the people are so friendly and nice! Melanie, Allie and Avery joined us - it's been traditon for them to go with us for the past few years. We all had a wonderful time! It was a little different for us this year, obviously, but we still had a great time knowing that Poppa would have been there with us (and paying for everything too....).

Now we're back in Memphis and getting settled back into a routine. While I love being home with Mom, I'm glad to be back "home" again.

This year they had another petting zoo - with kangaroos, llamas, camels, goats and other fun animals. Ethan loved feeding the llama! (The Llama Llama books are his favorite...thanks Randi)

The fair looks wonderful, I've never been to the Coweta fair but it sure looks like a good one. So cute seeing Nina get her first taste of cotton candy from her Nona.

Okay, love the sliding picture with all of the funny faces! You got some great pics. So, does Ethan like Llama, Llama, Mad at Mama? That is one of Brodie's favorite Llama Llama books.

Hey girl! Love all the pictures and so glad you had 2 great trips. I've decided that we don't actually have to be in HHI at the same time because all of your pictures of the kids look just like ours - just trade out the kids. The locations are exactly the same - too funny! Give me a call when you can! Love ya!
