The Fair

Cole kept asking to go back and see the cows. This calf was born that morning.

Cooling off...

Cole alternated between the airplanes and the helicopter.

This time he was the only one on the ride. It was SO HOT that day.

One of my favorites from the day...

...only because it reminded me of this one taken 9 years ago.

(Amanda on the horse, Emma in utero.)
