Labor Day and the Spartansburg Fair

Alrighty everyone. Its that time of the year . Where the weather changes from hot to cool. The fall clouds make their debut and kids start going back to school.

Its also the kick off of the Spartansburg fair .

This fair we have gone to every year for .. boy ... I think at least 8 or 9 years, and every year we ALWAYS enjoy ourselves.

So everyone , , here are some pictures that you can all enjoy .

We started our morning with the obstacle course. The girls have been doing this course ever since they were three years old .

Here Katie was just crossing the finish line .

This picture Tim got of Marilyn jumping over one of the obstacles.  There was alot of competition in Marilyn's age group.

Hannah also did the course as well but somehow we didn't get a picture of her . Tim had the camera and he also helped her get through it . She won 2 tickets for being 3rd place . Go Hannah !

Here daddy got a nice picture of the girls and I . Where's Maggie you ask ?

She was at Grammy's house relaxing .  She really liked it there up at the farm . She seems to know that she is someplace different and she really likes being up there .

After we were done with the course we went back up to Grammy's house to have some lunch . After we were all finished we went back to the fair grounds for the Ride a Rama .  The girls love the rides .  This was the first ride the girls went on .

Here is a nice picture of Katie on the carosel horse .

Here Hannah sat with daddy . Daddy gets motion sickness so he couldn't hold her on the horse . But  she liked sitting too .

After they were done with that . Mommy took Maggie and went to go and feed her . But dad took the girls around to ride on some more rides.

Marilyn LOVES this ride.  The faster for Marilyn the better.

Here the girls are riding on the swing. It was a nice little ride because it didn't go very fast . Hannah really liked this ride.

This ride Hannah and Katie didn't care for. Katie said she didn't like it and Tim said Hannah looked like she was ready to get sick so he had the ride operator stop the ride to get her off. But as for Marilyn ,,,, the faster the better.

Katie likes this ride alot .  She said she rode on it two times , and she'll ride on it some more on Friday and Saturday .

This ride was more of Hannah's speed . She liked this one alot . Katie rode on it too .

After they were all done with the rides it was time to get ready for the 5K race. Marilyn decided to run the race. So dad also went along with her too .  They started off with their stretching . Very smart . Because there is a small incline that you have to up .

Grandma, Katie and grandma's friend Mary Ellen walked the race.

But Katie didn't walk very far before stopping . As for me and Maggie we sat at Aunt Janet's house . Its the perfect spot .

There was lots of people there and the weather was perfect .

We waited and waited and finally after about 50 minutes  we saw Tim running down with Marilyn on his back . How's that for a work out . Marilyn is definiltey no lightweight .

Once they got to a certain point . Marilyn got off and finished the race with dad .

Shortly after grandma, and Mary Ellen came down the hill too. Katie and Hannah ran over and walked the rest of the way .

After all that walking it was time to go and eat. There's nothing better then fair food from the fireman's stand.

Maggie on the other hand slept the whole time we were there.

While we were still eating Hannah wanted to ride the ponies. So grandma's friend took her over so she could ride before we had to take her home to get her ready for bed.

Well there you have it everyone. This was our Labor Day and kick off to the fair .
