We went to the Saunder's County Fair the last weekend in July for something to do and check it out because we had never been there. Unfortunately there isn't much to up there except the Merry Go Round. I was almost too much for Gracie to wait in line to get onto the ride. Once she was on, she was loving it.
And then the ride was over, and the crying baby scene began. Like I chopped her leg off or something.
Luckily for her she was able to ride 3 times total without much a a wait. Once she was back on the ride, she was all smiles. I rode with her 1 of the 3 times and as it was coming to an end I told her "Uh Oh, all done." And she replied, "No, No." And then I tore her clinging hands from the pole as she proceeded to make another scene. The torture of being a 1 year old.
It looked pretty pathetic her balling and clenching the fence watching the ride go around. Everyone on the ride seemed to show her sympathy and they came and went by her. Maybe next year she won't cry; I hope!
All the girls got together again on August 4th at Antelope Park before the summer comes to a close. Once again, it was very good to see everyone and the kids all had fun playing on the playground equiptment.
On August 9th, Dad, Mom, Colleen and I went to go see Taylor Swift at the Quest Center. She had Gloriana and Kelli Pickler open for her. They all were very good and I was quite impressed that she played for nearly 2 hours! It was really funny when we went out to eat at Zio's in the Old Market, Colleen had a couple people come up to her and tell her that she looked like Taylor Swift. I was thinking once we got to the concert we would have way more fans come up to us, but unfortunately no one did. Guess they figured Taylor wouldn't be roaming about. I was planning this huge money scheme; $10 for an autograph and $15 for a photo with her. Too bad it didn't work out. Had fun though.

Gracie dressed as a little hula girl during the July 18th Stir Up Days Kiddie Parade. I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture around, sorry.
We decided to enter Gracie into the kiddie parade for something fun to do.
