More pictures from the fair

I thought I would post some more pictures from today.

Don’t they make a cute team?

The thrill seeker

Remember a few posts ago where I commented on how brave my little niece is? Well, she really proved it today! We joined the kids at the county fair and Ri would have ridden every ride if she were only tall enough. The rides she was tall enough to ride she went on all by herself. Her older brother rode them in the beginning but made the mistake of riding one of those that spun too much, so he was down for the count. They should have a pepto bismal booth. This is pre-whirly ride, have you ever seen a kid having more fun?

McCarthy Party

I like the sound of that. So today the family got together for a picnic and despite the 90º weather we had some fun. My brother and I got to play frisbee which was really nice, we haven’t done that in years and I got to see the “wondrous Bun girls and their amazing jumping.” At least that’s what I’m calling them, they are really good, they should go on tour, they already have the matching swimsuits.

Awww, isn’t he cute. I don’t know but I think he might be smiling with his eyes! I really like this shot of Ri, she likes to ham it up in front of the camera, so it’s nice to get one of her. Ri is trying to convince Uncle James to come in the pool. It didn’t work so she figured she would take matters into her own hands. Zach is like a pool boy scout, he’s ready for anything.A sweet father-daughter moment, right after this picture was taken he threw her into the pool. I love this shot of Lily. She’s always so happy I can’t tell if she is relaxing or not?

See what I mean, my little ham.

Today I went back in time

1864 to be exact.  

It was nice back in time but it really tires you out.

Super Fun Day

Today I woke up to “Super Fun Day.”  James surprised me by taking me to the Ohio State Fair which meant waking up at 6:30 and driving for 2 hours to Columbus.  We did have a super fun day.

I loved taking pictures of the rides, the bright colors with the pretty blue sky in the background.

James re-enacted a story Cory told him about licking a giant salt lick. Then we got our “sexy” on and modeled some sunglasses. They had a nature area there where they had pretty flowers and a butterfly house.  It was really busy in the butterfly house so I couldn’t dilly-dally and take too many pictures, but I did manage to get a few.  Doesn’t this last one look like the butterfly is waiting for permission to take off? They had a logger demonstration and James and I thought, oh that’ll be interesting, but it actually was.  They were really funny.  Here they are doing the log in the water competition, I thought it was a good shot of him falling off.  I’ll have to add some more pictures later.

After we left the fair we went to a restaurant we saw on “Man V. Food.”  Thurman’s Cafe the food was really yummy but the restaurant is teeny-tiny, it was the longest wait to be seated I’ve ever endured.

So that was super fun day, boy am I pooped.
