A Day at the Fair

The Jackson County Fair was last weekend and I was really excited to take Tori. Unfortunately, she was a good 2 inches too short to ride ANY rides (even the carousel!) and when you are only 30" tall, then 2 inches looks like a lot. So, although I was disappointed, this will probably be the last fair year on the cheaps! So we did other things, like eat ice cream and visit the petting zoo. It was a fun couple of hours. Tori even entertained herself at the little kids table at the Beer Garden, as seen in the next picture.

Tori sittin' pretty in her stroller, which she decided isn't so bad after all! By this point, you can see her perky fair ponytail has wilted a bit.

Petting some very friendly goats

Again....the goats. They kept trying to eat my purse.

Yummmmmmmy......I made Tori share;-)

Tori gets a crack at the ice cream cone.....

She likes to put as much into her mouth at once as possible.

Cool shades Torzilla!

Arriving at the Fair in style!

Pre-Fair pics...Can you see her "fair hair" in a little ponytail?

Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These pictures are pretty late, but cute none the less;-) We went to Pacific City to Kris's family beachhouse for the holiday weekend and Tori played on the beach a lot. She also enjoyed pointing out every single dog on the beach (and there were a lot!) and saying "dog!" I took her to some tidepools, we ate a big ice cream cone on the beach and Dada was off catching a 30lb halibut for dinner that night, which Tori LOVED eating!

Kris's cousins, Tori and I also went to a parade in a small neighboring town where Tori got a firework painted on her face and we ate a red snow cone, which was not the best choice since it spilled all over her, of course. As for the actual fireworks, Tori saw a few sparklers, but she fell asleep by 8pm and amazingly, slept right thru everyone setting off their own fireworks all around us. Next year we will find out what she really thinks of fireworks!
