White Girls CAN Jump!
My favorite photo of the weekend, my girl leaping her way across the stage at the State Fair. We had an amazing time. Watching her dance was awesome. There were tons of people there and many stopping by and standing around watching and yelling and clapping. SB and her group danced two dances and the older girls danced some. I think the entire show lasted an hour. They were all the same songs they danced to at recital, but they've been reworking them since August, so the dances are somewhat different and definitely more polished.
After Sb danced, she wanted to ride some rides. She had never been to the fair. It's in a not so nice part of town and we haven't been since Bubba was about 3. But, really? I saw no problems. The place was packed with people, but everyone was friendly and nice. My FIL had asked me a month ago if he could come with us to watch SB and since Mark and the boys had other places they needed to be, I was glad for the company. We rode the sky ride and them SB and her grandpa went on the ferris wheel. We all rode the log ride and got soaking wet. We had goopy disgusting food you can only find at the fair. As we were riding the sky ride a second time, SB saw a place that sold Deep Fried Snickers bars. We had to go track it down once we got off the ride. Grandpa and I each tried a bite, but SB thought it was heaven on a stick! she said it was like donuts and a candy bar all mixed together. She asked if I could make them at home. Ummm...no. We'd all weigh 400 pounds!

That's such a great picture. I agree with you about the part of town - it's why we haven't gone in forever, too. I remember having so much fun going when I was a teenager, though! My sis-in-law invited me and LG to go with her and her daughter, but I had a meeting, so I couldn't go. Maybe it would have been fun, though. I know LG would have loved the animals! And I love fair food, but deep fried Snickers may be more than I could take (if I could eat chocolate that is...lol!).
great action shot!
We haven't been to the fair for years, Sarah was a year old, which was just my second time at the AZ state fair. But growing up, we went daily (it was only 1 week) to the county fair that was practiclly in my parents yard. I wished it wasn't so darn expensive to go, I'd love to be able to take the kids once every year.
