Night at the Arkansas State Fair

SO you know you're a redneck if....you attend the Arkansas State fair more than once and or with your 5 month old baby. Hmmm? Oh well, so what if that is true. We totally went to the fair two weekends in a row, but what else is there to do around here? Obviously not THAT much! It actually was really fun. Seth and I and his parents-Grammy and Poppa that is, and Aunt Ali and Uncle Dustin and cousin Cecilia drove out to the fair, for some good good fair food-which is totally my favorite, bright lights, and just an overall good time! Cecilia is three months older than Elem, not that you could tell it by looking at her, cause she is about a pound lighter than Elem, which of course causes everyone to think we have twins with us, but they both absolutly loved it! As soon as we walked in, they both looked like they were trippin'! hahaha. They LOVED all the lights and Elem is totally a people watcher, so he was in heaven.

As you can tell, we bundled him up nice and warm in his little bear jacket that his memaw got him. Grammy and Poppa are always so proud to get the grandkids out in public! Its so cute. We had the strollers and all, but you know how grandparents are! They always want to carry them in initially. :) SO after he was all zipped up....


Got a good Grammy and Poppa pic!

"
Got Cecilia nice and warm and were ready for the official Grammy and Poppa and grandkids at the fair pic"! haha! See how they kinda look like twins simply because one is in blue and the other is in pink and they are the same size??haha. I know they look nothing alike, but it never seems to matter when we take them places. Grammy and Poppa love love love these babies!


After about 5 minutes of getting in and snapping a quick family pic:


And an up close of littel cutie baby C! Look how freakin cute that baby girl is? She is so dang tiny!...and we were on our way...

We made the rounds! ANd saw a few folks we knew. And a lot of pretty strange peeps as well. Dont get me wrong because I do LOVE Little Rock, well Bryant really-we live a little on the outisde if Little Rock, but its like all the people come out of the woodworks to attend the fair! Guess everybody needs a night out huh? Like I said it was fun though, I got me a funnel cake and a Pronto pup! Which is all I really need from the fair to ensure that I have the true fair experience! But Seth and his dad dont stop there. They HAVE to hit up the basketball game which is totally rigged every year!Last year, Seth literaly spent like 45 bucks on the basketball game at various goals around the fair to try and win one of the monster stuffed animals. And yes he did finally win, but how much do you really think one of those gigantic stuffed ugly animals costs? Probably like 6.50 or something. But seth was quick to inform me that it is not only the prize but the principal that you have WON at the fair.

Anwyas, this year, he did much better and didnt spend as much money, but I think it was partly because his dad won early this year! Thank goodness. He went with the smart pic for his prize and chose the leapard skin rug throw or what ever you mgith call it! Haha Elem seemed to like it though, I think...



Kinda creepy if you ask me! :)


He finally got enough of it as you can tell from the pic. :) Cute little boy!


But it was a lot of fun, fun enough that we went back again the next weekend. Last weekend that is, but I just hadnt had time to blog about it. I of course had to get another pic of just me and Elem, I think most of you can tell that this was taken towards the end of the night! My eyes are nearing a close as Elems are for some reason wide open! :) Good times good times at the Arkansas State Fair!
