Week 190

Oct 17-23

It's that time of year again, the South Carolina State Fair is in town!  Jack had a blast last year and could hardly ride all the rides.  This year he was plenty tall enough to ride pretty much everything (minus a handful of ridiculously scary rides like the one Amanda and I rode...see pictures below).  We did all of the fun fair stuff including games, rides, and of course fried food galore!  Grandma rode with us from Sumter and we all met up with Uncle Ryan, Auntie Amanda, and little Baby Abigail.  She couldn't do a whole lot, but I think she really enjoyed hearing all the new sounds and seeing the colors everywhere.  I interspersed some pictures from last year that were so similar to the ones this year.  It is neat to see how much you can change.

This kid loves ice cream!!!

This one does too.  This is him taking a much needed break in the stroller.

Big bite!

Attempting to get a nice picture of all the cousins...

Abel had something else in mind.

Bumper cars! 

Playing more games!

At the end of this week we went to church to see Miss Abigail get Baptized!  She was so beautiful and didn't even cry!  Ed was the proud Godfather.  It was so nice to see family and share a meal.  We even got to see Ed's family from Pittsburgh, which is always a nice treat.  Congratulations Abigail Rose!
