SKCC: Wilson County Fair....a first for daddy and camden!

This past weekend we went to the Wilson County Fair, which is about 30 minutes or so from Nashville. A few friends had told us about it and then we heard it on the radio, so decided it must be worth the drive.
Saturday, we loaded up Camden after her morning nap and headed for the adventure. We definitely had a fun filled day! Shaefer and I both said, as we were walking through the endless parking lot to find our car, how much fun we had and that we both felt like 'little kids in a candy store' all day.
Here are a few pics from our day: (i figured out....about half way through uploading, how to make the pics larger, so forgive me for the smaller ones, going forward, all will be big...even more of camden to see! :)

we heard lots about the 'famous' banana derby before we went....little monkeys racing on top of dogs....

hard to see, bc we were kind of far back due to the crowds, but in the back left of the pic are the 2 monkeys on their dogs racing...

cheering them on

and the winner is....

showing off

dreaming about when she will be tall enough to ride!!....which, by the way, we went to the dr for her 15 month check up on Friday....she is doing great! And...she is in the 50th percentile for height!!!! WOW!! (in the 3rd for her weight, but atleast she's back on the chart!:)

first trip to the petting zoo...she's not so sure about things

this llama enjoyed the carrots shaefer fed her so much, that she decided to spit them at us!

camden did not like the spitting!

mommy comforted her and she became animal friendly again

second trip to the petting zoo....a friend joined us this time (this is jenny and her little girl, riley. we met them at one of the churches we tried and have been spending some time together in the past few weeks letting the girls play..and the mommy's talk. :)
