I have always loved the state fair. I love the smell of delicious, fried food the second you walk in. I love WATCHING the risky rides in action. I used to love riding them until my brother and I almost fell out of one. True story. So scary. Never again. This was the first year that we took the girls. There are a ton of kid rides. Tinsley has no fear. She would ride every ride there if they let her. We stayed about 7 hours. There were no lines so the girls (mostly Tinsley) rode and rode and rode. We had two exhausted little ladies when we got home that night but it was well worth it.
Pure happiness in that cute little face right there. They rode that slide at least 10 times.
I wish this picture showed Blakely's face better- she loved that ride. Blakely didn't ride too many rides... she preferred dancing to the music while big sister and daddy rode them.
This ride would whip around so fast. Tinsley was in heaven.
David and Tinsley on the dragon roller coaster. Hands up the whole time!
Super fast ride that T-Bo loved.
Dumbo ride
I love my family!
This baby was born just an hour before we took this picture. We saw it stand up and walk around for the first time.
Fried snickers. Need I say more? It was beyond delicious. We did not hold back. We also had fried mac-n-cheese, rib tips with mashed potatoes, and homemade ice cream. We also enjoyed multiple drinks of orangeade and lemonade. The first guy who made our lemonade had a conversation with me that went like this....
Lemonade guy: Looks like you're about pop!
Me: Oh I know but I actually have a few months left.
Lemonade guy: Really? Wow, you're going to be big as a house!
Haha oh it was so funny! I can't blame the guy for thinking I am about to pop... I get that a lot. But to say I am going to be as big as house? I probably should have been offended but I seriously wasn't. My weight gain during my pregnancies amaze me as well. My doctor has told me that people normally gain 25-30 pounds. I have 13 weeks left and I have already gained 30! I gained 60 pounds with Blakely and a LITTLE less with Tinsley. I'm hoping not to pass 60 pounds this pregnancy but with the holiday's coming up it just may happen. Oh well. I'll worry about that after the baby gets here. Until then... mama wants it all! :)

Your too cute... the good thing about you, is that no matter how much you gain... you get skinny again super fast, and i swear you are skinnier after you've had kids than you were before. You are nicer than me... I would have cried if that man said that to me.
I love your optimism, Cate. You're amazing!
