The fair


Tommy, Ashton and I decided to brave the crowds and ventures out to our local fair. It was scorching hot all day long, so we waited until about 8:00 to go. The weather was perfect and even though Ashton's bedtime had come and gone, he loved every minute of it. The only reason we really wanted to go was to let Ashton do the petting zoo. He loves animals so much that we couldn't pass up the opportunity of letting him actually interact with them. We bought some animal food and headed into the area with the ponies, goats and llamas. Tommy and I agreed that the food was a bad idea because the animals absolutely swarm and maul you to get some of the food. Ashton got a little intimidated with all of the goats crowding in on him (they were his size and bigger), so I dropped the food and just walked around and let Ashton pet all of the animals. He loved the tiny baby goats, but didn't much like the adult ones, especially when they stuck their faces in his face. It was fun getting out as a family and of course letting Ashton run out whatever energy he had left.

Who is the skinny girl in the pictures? Can't be you. You only have 40-ish days left of being pregnant!

You're way too nice. Believe me there is very little room on my lap anymore for Ashton... Stay tuned for a 35 week picture in about a week.
