Tenn. State Fair!

Lauren wins fastest corn-dog eating contest...and it was a foot long!
Purple cotton candy next...then a quart of fresh lemonade...the treats were great!

Pony rides are $5 per kid and then a fat sweaty man takes you around the ring 5 times. I was ticked. Lucky for cheese-man that my husband was there cause I was about to be the mommy from.... I mean, come on!! A dollar for one circle on a pony? How could this guy live with himself---cheating little children on pony rides? I'm certain that the Lord has a special place for people like that.


Yet both girls agreed that the ponies were the highlight of the trip.








The petting zoo had little bags of sliced carrots for $1 to feed the animals. Fearless Savannah went through the bag pretty quickly while Lauren reserved her veggies for the animals that no one else was petting or feeding. She has such a tender heart for the underdog.





The goats figured out pretty soon after that she didn't have any food left, but Savannah mercilessly held out her hands to any animal she could get her arms around for a hug.

I love the picture of Lauren eating that corn dog. She must have LOVED it seeing that she allowed herself to get stuff all over herself. Savannah is growing up so much! You can sure see her little personality come through some of those photos. Congrats to the Ortons!
