The County Fair

I took Brady and Addison to the fair for the first time ever last night! I was a little nervous about taking them, because I thought Brady would be too scared to ride anything, but boy was I wrong. We went with our friends Ben and April and their little girl Mary Beth, who is Brady's age. Chris was at a football game in Augusta, so he couldn't be there with us. But we had fun and took lots of pictures to share. Brady enjoyed riding the carousel, saying "up and down" the whole time while riding the horse. But his absolute favorite thing was the big slide!!! We had to go down that slide a hundred times and everytime we'd get to the bottom, he'd jump up squealing and bounce around saying "go again mama, go again." It was fabulous to watch how excited he got. Addison just sat in the stoller and looked at all the lights and just watched everyone! The weather was perfect...not to hot and not too cold!! We even got to see a camel, which was pretty cool, until we later found out that the camel threw a little child off it's back during one of the camel rides! The child was ok, just a little bump on the head, but can't say that I blame the camel! The person overseeing the camel rides, walked the camel around inside the fair where all the people were running and screaming. I'm sure it made the camel nervous; heck, I was nervous with all the young kids there that were running and screaming and acting crazy!!!

Well, today had mulitple purposes...Georgia vs Florida and Halloween!! We all knew that Florida was going to beat Georgia, but we still supported our team by dressing in red and black!! Even little Miss Addison had on her Black and red Georgia Bulldogs dress!

Halloween was a blast. Mom and dad, as well as Jill, Ben, and Hannah came down to go trick or treating with us! A couple of weeks ago, Brady and I went to Target to find a costume for Addison. He had already decided that he wanted to be an elephant for halloween, so I was going to order his costume off line. Well, while we were at Target, he found a pumpkin outfit, and decided that both he and Addison should be pumpkins!! As you can see, that's what they both were! Hannah Grace dressed up as Alice in Wonderland and Ben dressed up as a Georgia Bulldog football player! We made it halfway around the block when Ben decided he was ready to go back to the house and pass out candy to the trick or treaters, so Jill took him back. So that left Chris and me with Hannah Grace, Addison, and Brady. Well, then Addison started getting fussy because it was so hot (probably about 75 degrees), so Chris took her and Hannah back home to mom and dad, which left me with Brady. At the last house on our street, there was a man dressed up as a werewolf or something. Anyway, his costume scared Brady so badly that he was done. He didn't want to do any more trick or treating! He was ready to go home. So we went home and he helped Aunt Jill pass out candy. Though, I think he actually just sat there and ate candy while Jill passed out candy!
