The last of the Fair

We had a wonderful time at the Kentucky State Fair.  It felt really good to be able to conquer it as far as dealing with diabetes.  I still believe in healing for Sage, but with all that goes with this, while we wait for it, I am VERY good at what I do in taking care of her.  She ate funnel cakes and ice cream just like we did and stayed perfectly within her range.  More importantly, she rode some big rides for her and was so proud of herself.  Unfortunately, my phone was on its last leg battery wise so my pics were limited.  Jaggar had a blast and is still talking about it, and Costner Bleu was good at his first fair trip too.

We took a break from the rides and went to see some of the animals during the heat of the day. 

 He refused to look.

 Jaggar waved to all of the cows as we walked through.  He's so adorable.  As the day went on, his spiderman mask was wiped away more and more.

 Sage wanted her pic made here, but I caught her between smiles.  Her face paint, on the other hand, remained in tact.

 There was a girl walking this cow through, and she stopped and let the kids pet it and get a picture.

 Baby Bleu's first fair.  Precious boy

 Thought I'd document that we were all together.

 My sweet mom.  Thank you for treating us to the fun.

 We found a room full of rabbits, and Sage thought these were triplets.  She may very well have been correct.  Some of the rabbits were for sale, and my kids slightly begged for one.  NO.  WAY.

 My mom's favorite animals are the mules, and Jaggar wanted to pet them all.  They're pretty, but they make me a bit nervous.  After this, we went back out to the midway until after 11 pm.  WOW...so tired.  Travis, Sage, Jaggar and I all rode the tilt a whirl MANY times, and Jaggar LOVED it.  We also went on this haunted ride that I thought would be cheesy..., but it was too much for my kids and for me.  It was pitch black inside and then lights would flash on to show whatever it was with loud sounds.  But the startling was more than enough for us all.   They were screaming in terror, and I felt terrible and then as soon as it stopped Jaggar said, "Can we do it again?"  lol, and Travis took him again.  Sage and I rode some swings that she was barely tall enough to ride, and they went up SO high...it was scarier to watch than to ride, I think.  Made me nervous but it was fun.  We had such a wonderful day...and night.  Till next year.
