Pierce County Fair

Saturday after Linnea's nap we got out the door as quick as we could to head to Ellsworth for the Pierce County Fair. What a fun time it was! Jenny, Naomi and the twins were there and so was Papa Dave, Grandma Sarah and Aunt Allison. We ate fair food right when we got there and then found the petting zoo and pony rides. What a blast! We walked around a bit after that had some corn sold by Dave and Sarah's church, had some ice cream and then walked around a little bit more to see the horses and then we had one tired girl so we headed to Grandma Sarah's house and had a sleepover. And guess what Linnea did? Slept on just a mattress on the floor...pretty close to a big girl bed. She did great. We were even in the same room as her and she didn't get up to "visit" us. Yay Linnea! We woke up and walked down to the cute coffee shop about two blocks from their house. Papa Dave cleaned off his old wagon and L thought it was pretty fun to ride down in that BIG wagon! Sometime we will have to get all the kids in. Im pretty sure 3 little girls would fit just fine! After breakfast and playing inside and working on our sommersaults we decided to go the playground near gma Sarah's. Linnea has lots of fun climbing, sliding and of course swinging. She also tried the outhouse...she tried it at the fair too. I have to say she is pretty brave for going in them. She hasn't actually peed in one yet but she is darn good at trying. She is darn good at this whole potty training thing actually! More on that in its own post. Its a big deal. We had lunch with Grandma Sarah and then headed home. Linnea stayed awake almost the whole way home but zonked out about 5 minutes from home. She was able to get back to sleep for her nap. After nap we had some cereal for dinner and headed to the Central Park Amphitheater for the Okee Dokee Brothers free concert again. Lots of dancing and fun was had by Linnea and I while daddy stayed home and converted her bed to a "big girl" bed. We figured since she did so well at Grandma Sarah's we may as well go with it! Again...I will have another post on that big deal dedicated just to her and her big girl bed! Fun times but a little sad at the same time...she is growing so fast!
