Tough girl though she is, Katie likes to stop and smell the flowers. 

Katie's favorite display at the fair. When she first saw this vehicle, she shouted, "Mine!" and started climbing all over it. 

I love the antique tractor parade. I wonder if this guy would come do our orchard and pasture? 

Nadya learns how to milk a goat. 

The roller coaster was being worked on so Nadya went on the train first. When the ride was over, they had reopened the roller coaster. 

Nadya totally adores the roller coaster. This one went forwards and backwards. It wasn't your usual totally tame kiddie coaster - and she loved it! Still waters run deep. 

Biker Girl Nadya cops an attitude. 

Nadya pilots her first spacecraft. 

Katie was jealous of all the rides Nadya went on. We finally found a ride that Katie was big enough for: the carrousel. Here she gives the carnie her tickets. 

Katie wanted to go on a ride, until she was actually on it. She stayed just long enough for the picture, then insisted on leaving before the ride started. 

On the previous three events where Nadya tried this climbing and sliding contraption, she has had to be helped past the rope ladder. This time she just barrelled right up it without a pause! She's the light yellow blur.  

Katie really made out at the fishing booth. Here she shows off her loot: a small fish, a large turtle and a small rubber alligator, just like Uncle Gordon had. Nadya got a medium sized snake.
