Andreae Adventures: 4-H Fair

On Sunday, we headed out to breakfast with Bobby's family...all 15 of us!

It was one last get together with all of us until Christmas, which we will be celebrating December 8th this time with Bobby's family. So, we won't be seeing the Mumaw's anytime soon unless we make a trip out to Maryland.

Out of 15 pictures, I only got 1 of all 7 kids looking at me...well maybe not Aubrey, but everyone that could look at me!

Cousins: Evan (8), Preston (4), Jaxon (10 months), Brielle (7), Aubrey (1 month), Natalie (16 months), Alexis (5)

...and we're done!

On Monday, my mom, sister, and Aunt Krista all headed to the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair. It didn't feel too hot before we left, but by the time we got there, it was definitely warm! It was like a big zoo for Natalie with multiple animals, including a small petting zoo.

She loved the little piggies!

...and the bunnies

The petting zoo also had small guinea pigs that Natalie got a chance to touch, but then she grabbed one of them and squeezed it a little, which made it make a squeak! Needless to say, I don't see any small animals in her future :) ...or ever!

Notice their matching pony tails?!

Natalie got to experience her 1st fair rides. It was dollar ride day, so she got to go on 3 different ones. The first 2 she liked, but the last one...not so much. Natalie and Mommy rode the carousel, Aunt Amanda rode a bear ride and Grandma rode a more adventurous one that went up and spun. However, the last one, we all thought you could control the spinning, but we were wrong. Grandma didn't like that ride either!

Aubrey just hung out all day

One very nice thing about the fair was the air-conditioned buildings, but what I especially liked was there Lactation Station they provided to nursing moms! They also provided diapers and wipes in there too. Very few places are so pro-breastfeeding, so it was a very nice accommodation!
