Fair, Apple Festival and Gator

On Thursday, we made the trip up to Centreville, MI for the St. Joseph County Fair. Gretchen loves going to fairs. She'd go everyday if I let her. I think she just enjoys the animals. Trevor isn't too sure about the animals yet. Everything is just so big to him. :) Gretchen got to enjoy a horse ride which made her day. I get to hear about this all the time. Of course we had to take in as much fair food as possible too. Now we're officially done with fairs for this year. We hadn't let the fair more than 5 minutes and Mr. T was asleep. It was just too much for him.

This morning we ventured over to Nappanee for the Apple Festival. We met up with Chris and Jen who live there. It was a nice warm morning. Great weather for a parade and a walk. Gretchen was thrilled with all of the candy she got. It amazed Ray and I how much she and Trevor got.

Yesterday morning Ray and Gretchen ventured over to his mom's house. Another house in the subdivision happened to be having a garage and behold they had a gator for sale. Gretchen will tell you right away that it looks like Grandpa's. The kids love taking rides with Grandpa around the yard. Watch out Grandpa!
