Wakulla County is some of the most celebrating people I know! If there is a holiday on the calendar, you can bet they are going to have a parade and possibly an after party! Not that this is a bad thing...especially this time! For Valentine's Day this year, they hosted their usual parade and then they had a little fair after. They had pony rides, booths of all different kinds, games, bungee things...everything! While I was on the phone that morning with Aunt Becky she mentioned it to me, so we loaded up and took a ride up there!
We missed the parade, but made it to the fair. Everyday on the way home Bellamy talks about school buses and fire trucks. So you could imagine my excitement when we walked up and the first thing we see is the fire trucks! She said hello to the firemen and they immediately let her get up in the truck...she was loving it!
Once we got her down out of there, we posed for some pictures with her on the trucks.
You could tell she was totally not interested in my picture, but she did great for Drew. Oh well...such as life! Next up we headed for the ponies! We stood in line while Drew caught up with some of his WCSO guys. Bellamy was so excited!
I thought it was going to be tough getting her off, but I noticed a pig booth, so I used that as her distraction!
She was in love! We wanted to let her pet the pig, then we noticed the sign hanging on the cage..."Wild Animal. Pig may bite. Pet at your own risk.". That turned us off, so we decided we'd just let her pet the barrel pig instead! After the pig, we just started browsing the booths. We ran into a guy holding an alligator puppet. Bellamy was all about it, but when she went to give him a kiss, and he made the gator open his mouth, she almost flipped! I hated to laugh, but her face was so sad after that! We did end up getting her to touch it and pose with it, but when we asked her to kiss it again, she adamantly said "NO"!!
We decided that after that, we needed to go to a booth with something less scary! So we headed over to the animal rescue booth. She doesn't look too happy in these pictures, but she did like petting the puppies!
As we made our way around, we decided it was probably time to head home and put her down for a nap. I shopped a couple of the booths and bought some hair bows. When I finished my shopping, we still had a few tickets left, so we stopped at a duck pond and let Bellamy pull a duck. This wasn't our best idea. You know how Bellamy LOVES ducks and guess what?! She wanted to take the duck that she picked HOME! That was so not part of the prize!! Luckily the lady was really nice and let us take it...and the prize too!
After the ducks, we finally headed home! We put Bellamy down for a nap and then Drew headed out to play golf with Garet and Joe. I was going to skip this part of the day, but as I was going through my photostream, I saw some good pictures that I couldn't pass up! No captions necessary...
Yes...Garet broke ALL of his clubs! What a loon! Towards the end of their golf excursion, I decided to run Bellamy up to the park to swing and play for a while. She had a blast!
Drew showed up after his game and played with us for a few minutes. He brought out one of his clubs and let her take a few swings. She loved it! But it was time to go home and get ready for bed. Sunday's are a big day for us...so to the house we go!!
