Today, we took Carli to the Dixie Classic Fair for the first time. We couldn't wait to see how she reacted. After nap time, we got her dressed and took off. While Joe got tickets, Carli and I waited outside the entrance sign. She kept looking around and around at all the people and the sights.
When we got inside, Carli's eyes were wide as she looked around at everything. She kept pointed to everything! She loved almost everything she saw. Everytime she heard music, she was rocking that stroller back and forth.
We walked around and around looking for rides that Carli would be able to ride. We were beginning to give up when we saw these little jalopies on a track. Joe rode with Carli. She enjoyed them for a bit, but I think they went around a couple of times too many. That is when she tried to get out.
Next we found the carousel. This was more her speed. Carli and I found a cute white horse and climbed on. As it started to move, Carli began to smile and laugh and laugh. She laughed just about the whole time we rode. I think that if we tried, she would have ridden it again and again.
Next we went to the animal farm. Carli went inside the petting zoo and fed carrots to the billy goats and the llama. Joe said there was no fear in her. She just gave that carrot to each one and giggled. Next we went into the sheep area and saw the sheep owned by friends of ours at church. She was given permission to pet one of the bunnies when she promptly wanted to kiss. Too bad, she was at the wrong end of the bunny to kiss. After petting him, he hopped off, leaving behind a little "gift" for Carli-which we didn't let her keep.
After dinner from the Walkertown Civics Club, we headed home. Joe and I thought she would fall asleep since it was almost bedtime, but Carli played and played all the way home. I believe she had a good time and will want to go again!
