Tennessee State Fair

Yes I have been terrible about posting but I am trying to decide how I want to journal since there are so many options and I love the app I use. Anyway.. Trying to blog again :)
Today we decided to try out the Tennesee State Fair and although we can't compare it to the one in California it was still a nice day out as a family. 
We got ready and headed to Nashville this morning. The temperature dropped to being in the 60's so it was nice being out with much cooler weather during the day. It really felt like fall and it got me excited for my fall candles. I have realized that I am only in the mood to burn candles in the fall but it is something I look forward to in the season. 
We saw the biggest pumpkins and watermelons that I never knew could exist and it made me wonder how they even taste because I had been taught that bigger doesn't always mean that it will taste good. Anyway, they were my favorite of the displays! 
Man oh man this baby is yummy! In the 8 months she has been in our family I just can't get enough of her! She has such a fun personality and is so happy and loving. I continue to be greatful for the greater plans The Lord had in store for our family by blessing us with her :) 
We watched the flying hounds and some pig races which were both entertaining. 
So I am usually very anti-fried fair food but today I was feeling curious and went ahead to experience deep fried Oreos. Really they were not too bad. I probably won't go searching for them again but it is always fun to experience new things :) We even let Bailee play the dart toss game to win a stuffed animal which she is holding below. She had fun with it :)
As we were about to head to our car we finally noticed some horses arriving and decided to go check things out as our last stop. Bailee had an experience riding in June while we were in California and ever since we got back I have had the thought in the back of my mind to contact some of the programs here to start getting involved to see if it is something she really wants to pursue. Dave and I also love seeing horses and they really are majestic. 
Overall it was fun to just be together in our community and to check out the fair here :)
