The Best Parts of my Life: The Wilson County Fair

Charlie excited about the fair!

What a day! It was pretty hot but there was a nice breeze and lots of good shade to be found at the Wilson County Fair! Our county fair is the best fair in the state and brings in more people than the Tennessee State Fair. Today was the Antique car show and normally dad enters his car but there is something wrong with the engine and he couldn't get it to run. That didn't stop dad from going and so the 5 of us and dad all went together. We went to the car show and looked at all the cars. There was a Corvair there which happens to be my favorite car since I have one and there was a Model A there that was identical to my grandfathers first remodeled car. It was the same color and everything and it took me back to my childhood and riding in the rumble seat to go to car meets. I think my dad was glad to see it as well. We went around and looked at all the cars and headed over to look at the livestock and Max was very confused by the goats since they sounded like sheep. We saw a few celebrities and while the livestock barns were stinky it was filled with shade and gave us a few moments of cool. We went and got ice cream and drinks and after we saw all there was to see dad left and we stayed to ride some of the rides. Since we had the boys we opted to not ride the rides since someone would get left out and just let Catie ride everything. That kid is fearless! She rode everything she could ride and wasn't scared at all! She was barely tall enough to ride the big rides without one of us and had a great time. I was more scared than she was at times! The boys and I got lots of sun and we are all very tired! It was a fun filled day but exhausting. Everyone is in bed now and I am soon to follow. Enjoy the pictures from today! *there are no pictures of Max because he would never look at the camera*
