Last But Not Least...

These are my final pictures from our time at the fair. After we were practically melted from the extreme heat, we decided we needed food, drinks, and a/c. The a/c part was easy to find: that's where the animals are. So off we went to see my newest favorite: the mules. My mom has always loved them, but I really did this time, too.
I loved their eyes and big ears. Jaggar did, too.
They were huge. So huge, in fact, that they were intimidating at first, but they were so gentle. The owner said that they weighed around 1400 lbs. They also told us that they were very smart and could be trained.
Of course, he kept calling them "horse"

Then it was off to Jaggar's favorite thing, the cows.
Cute
This one was ready to go back outside and ride.
Mom got this snow cone to help cool off from the extreme heat.
I don't think mom actually got much of it herself.



This was earlier that morning. The pictures in my prior post were when Travis took Sage back out to ride while we stayed inside. But Jaggar discovered that water and didn't want to leave.
Notice Sage's pose in this and the above picture.
When we were trying to use up the last of the ride tickets, we met Travis and Sage back on the midway. It was CRAZY crowded. We were able to ride the ferris wheel with Jaggar.
I forget how much I hate the ferris wheel until I'm on it.
This picture is hysterical to me. Because Jason Aldean was in town, we saw TONS of girls in short dresses and skirts, shorter shorts, and cowboy boots. I couldn't figure why anyone would wear boots in that heat until I realized who the headliner was for the night. Anyway, Travis was like, "Wow, this is AWESOME!" with all of those half naked girls all around. Some did look really pretty. Then there were some fails. Check her out.
We had a wonderful time, and with traffic, we didn't get home until 1 am. Jaggar literally fell asleep the moment we put him in his seat. He never went to sleep on the ride up to Kentucky. He goes to bed at 7. It was 11, our time, when we arrived, and he was wide awake. Anyway, he didn't nap the entire visit in Kentucky. Then our 15 hour fair trip caused him to look like this as soon as we got in the car for the ride back to Alabama the next day. That's the sign of a good time. Thanks, Mom and Dad for having us!
