Saying good-bye to the 2014 Athens County Junior Fair... 8/9/14

Ellie-Kate and Britti eat one last dinner at the Lion's Club booth...

Ellie-Kate got one last chance to go on the kiddie rides... On the one hand, it's great that she's so tall for sports... On the other hand, it's sad that she's so tall because she won't be able to go on the kiddie rides again next year... Our baby really is growing up...


Ellie-Kate and a girl from her softball team rode on the kiddie roller coaster together.





Chelsea and Ellie-Kate

Ellie-Kate had a great time at the barn dance! Actually, Chelsea and Britti enjoyed the line dancing too after we finished taking down our fair booth. Meanwhile, Emmy was at a pre-season soccer scrimmage... Let's just say that she was definitely NOT happy about missing so much of the fair due to soccer two-a-days and then the scrimmage...
 
Other than soccer conflicts, we had an AMAZING county and state fair!! Emmy just had incredible dog and rabbit shows and food judging. Britti did a super job with 4-H judgings and the fair. Chelsea Meagan had an awkward fair... She was too old for 4-H and Junior Fair Board but too young for official, adult roles. Thus, she volunteered throughout the fair and filled in gaps where the Junior Fair Board members weren't available. It was very cool to see Britti and Chelsea running the Wednesday poultry show together :) Ellie-Kate enjoyed the kiddie parade, rides, and all of the animals. We're so blessed that all of the girls love the fair. What a special time for our family :)
