Walter Family: State Fair

Emily and I went to the Ohio State Fair with Grammy, Aunt Shell and Saylor. We were mostly excited to go to get the yummy fair food! That's the best part!! We found out the next day that Emily had strep throat! Poor girl!! I had it the week before and must have given it to her. :( I'm still blaming my strep on the ear infection she had over vacation. It's just been antibiotic after antibiotic in this house!! So, poor girl was starting to have a fever and stuff as we were out in the hot sun. She was a trooper though-a little Motrin and she was ready to keep playing! What mean parents we are always making her go go go out in the hot sun when she's sick! First in Disney, then at the Fair! She did end up being pretty sick though after this day-she had 103 degree fever for 3 days straight! I had to skip work for a couple days-and Emily had to skip daycare all week!!! Poor girl was pretty miserable for a few days. Bonus (for Emily and Mommy) was that she slept with me in our bed. That's my favorite part! She actually did okay going back to her room after she was better-I was worried that we were starting a new bad habit! Hopefully we can all stay healthy for a few months now!

I had to take a picture with Freddy and Freida!! Go Falcons!!! We did keep my chocolate covered frozen banana in the picture too :)

We watched a few of the horse competitions. Emily and Saylor actually liked it a good bit-and it was air conditioned in there :) They were so cute holding hands sitting on Grammy's lap.

We were checking out the baby cows-only a few days old!

They are so stinkin' cute!

The whole day Emily wanted to ride the merry go round. We finally rode it before we left. After it got started, she ended up crying the whole time around! She loves to talk about merry go rounds-but the only time she enjoyed them was the one in Disney World. She had to ride that one at least 3 times the day we were there. It truly is a magical place!
