THE FAIR!

Well this last Saturday we decided that we would go to the South Plains Fair in Lubbock! We weren't sure how Berk would react to the rides and stuff, but we knew one thing and that was that she wanted to see some CHICKENS! So we set off and got to the fair and went through the livestock barns and she got to see some chickens, cows and pigs. We unfortunately skipped the petting zoo part (absentmindedly, I think), but she really wasn't as pumped as I thought she would be about seeing all the animals! After wandering around there for a while, we decided that we would go to the rides section and see what Berk would venture into! Well, she surprised us all and wanted to ride A LOT! Of course, she wanted to ride the carousel because she got to ride a pony and then she would just see a ride and want to ride it! THere were a couple we were skeptical on, but she did a great job! There was only one that she rode by herself and got scared and started crying, but made it through it all! Since she is the size of a 3 year old, she could ride a few by herself and we gladly let her try, but there were a couple that she wanted or we had to ride with her! I am pretty excited that i might have a roller coaster buddy one day since Thad is a chicken! Well here are some pictures from the fair. I am hoping that I can drop my camera off at the doctor on Saturday because I have NO IDEA what is wrong with it and now my memory card won't open either! (Which contains LOTS of pics!) I guess I will see if they can salvage them, otherwise, another lesson learned about putting your photos places instead of just on the card! Hope you enjoy the pics!
