We had plans to go to the Fair, but we thought the weather was getting bad, so we went downtown instead.
Stopped at Amelia's favorite spot - the bookstore:
But then we realized, it was nice outside and the bad weather missed us! So we went to the fair.
Amelia and Daddy, on their way in:
Watching the pig races:
Here they come!!
Laughing at the goats -- they were licking her shoes:
Time for some rides! The carousel first:
And then, our BIG girl, went on the mini-ferris wheel!! She was a bit hesitant at first:
But thought it was GREAT when she was hanging out up top, while the bottom was getting loaded with new kids:
Coming around, she was really liking it:
But then, once the ride was really moving, she looked less confident.
The operator stopped the ride and put another kid in with her, which she loved. They seemed to be having a little conversation.

My dad, brother and nephew came over in the morning, so Dad coud buy that car that he test drove while visiting the previous weekend:
Amelia comparing her sports car to Grandpa's:
Jeff and Paul, checking out the car:
Amelia joining in:
Chris and I took it for a little spin:
A car fit for a princess:
Me and my girl:
Saying bye to Grandpa:
So long! Enjoy the car!
Next, we headed to a local fall farm festival -- Amelia still wearing her princess dress, of course:
Feeding the chickens:
Following up her BIG first from the night before (ferris wheel) - Amelia went on her very first PONY ride!!
She was so brave and confident - there was no harness keeping her on.
That hand you see (to the right) is me pointing at the saddle horn and reminding her to hold on with both hands:
She did so well!

And we finished out the afternoon with Amelia making a (beautiful) stuffed snake (with Mommy's help):
Later, after a nap, we got dressed up in our collegiate gear and went to the football game!
