A Day of Treats

Saturday was a day of treats for us. After Lily woke up, she just laid in bed with us as we watched cartoons (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse of course). It was such a treat for us as she just cuddled with us and watched a cartoon; what a great way to start the day!

After breakfast, we told Lily we had a surprise for her, but we had to get dressed and go in the car. On our way to the North Georgia State Fair, we told her we were going to the fair and there would be lots of animals. She loves animals, so she got very excited; she kept saying "animals" again and again! We had such a great time. There was a big barn with tons of animals...horses, ducks, sheep, goats, turkeys, rabbits, emus, chickens, etc. This was a petting zoo, but she wasn't interested in touching any of them which was fine with me. There was another tent just down from the barn with more animals. There was a zebra, camel, albino python and turtles...all animals we weren't expecting to see at a state fair. Lily had a great time watching them all. We also went into the ride area of the fair. There were way more than we expected to see, but all the kid rides were basically the same; some type of a bucket that went in a circle around a little track. Unfortunately, they didn't allow the parents to ride with the child, and we really didn't think Lily would handle that very well, so we didn't ride any of them. We did however ride the carousel which Lily enjoyed. She loves horses so to "ride" one is great for her; of course, I'm sure she would freak out if we tried to put her on a real horse.

After the ride and watching lots of other people, we decided it was time for lunch. Lily and I split some chicken fingers and fries, and I gave her some of my lemonade. She loved it! She would take a bite of food and then ask for more "tea." I think she thought it was tea because that's what I love to drink, and I don't let her have any. She thought she was getting a special treat because I was sharing my drink with her. We also decided it would only be right to have funnel cake at a fair; what fair is complete without one? No surprise here, but she also loved that!
