Butler County Fair & Parade

Another Friday, another fair.  July is full of fair fun and after seeing how much Nola loved the Platte County Fair we decided that we had to go to the Butler County Fair too.  Did I mention it is less than a block from our house?  

Once again, Nola's favorite ride was the train.  And she HAD to sit in the front.  She threw a fit when some kids beat her to it but the parents were nice enough to squeeze her on.  It just makes my heart happy to think that she's a random child in these people's precious fair photos :)


She also went on the carousel again and on an elephant ride.  I'm going to be honest, when the elephant ride started I had an urge to tell the guy to stop the ride.  It was a little fast.


We went inside to the vendors and there was a group doing spin art on frisbees.  Nola made her own, pink and purple of course.


We left with a new frisbee, some candy, a toddler who was throwing a tantrum because she couldn't ride the train again, and a funnel cake.  Fair success!  

The parade was a couple of days later. Robert's sisters came up from Lincoln to watch with us.  We got a great spot in the shade next to some nice people.  It didn't take long for Nola to figure out that candy is the best part of any parade.


She called it Trick-or-Treating.  She's pretty excited about Halloween now.


This is her loot!  She had a good time.

P.S. If you want a Tootsie Roll we have plenty.
