The County Fair

Fair Week is a BIG deal in our small town. So much so, in fact, that our Wednesday night Bible Study took this week off so people could attend with their families! The kids had a wonderful time people watching, examining the livestock, feeding the animals and looking at the rides. (We did not let them get on any this year.) Of course, they also loved the "fair food" (like roasted corn... Yum!) and seeing their friends.
At times, we were as much of an exhibit as anything else. As a result, I now have a new all-time-most-ignorant comment about triplets. As, we walked past two women, one of them said to the other, "Look. They're triplets." To which her companion replied, "That means they were all attached, right?"

LOL...maybe the commentor learned that on his/her drive over from Hawaii.

My daughter and I are heading to a N. GA festival tomorrow to enjoy some "girl" time(the boys are staying home to work on a playhouse) and yes, Fair Food is the best!

I love the "Got Triplets" on the back of the wagon:) It seems people lack in some multiple knowledge:)

Yea, Elizabeth! You de-lurked! I usually get confessions like yours at Kroger. :-)
Kate loves Caroline (and Ellison, too!) I was just telling Lauren how fun it is to think about her growing up looking up to Caroline's sweet big sister. Hopefully my boys will give Davis someone to look up to, too.

Well, they were all attached to an umbilical cord. Maybe that's what she meant...? I don't think some people think before they talk. Or, if they do - I'm very afraid.

I love the 'got triplets' bumper sticker on your wagon. We've got the same one on our van!!

The pictures, like always, are adorable!

Your kids are so cute!!!! cute!! cute!!!
I always love visiting your blog. Your stories always make me smile and laugh.

I can't believe you can keep them sitting in the wagons!

Love all the pictures, but "looking at the rides" is my fave. Can't believe they had the same look. LOL
