A New Tradition...

After weeks of anticipation, Papa finally got his wish to take his favorite granddaughter to the Indiana State Fair. A Barth family tradition continued and added Avery to the list. Even Grammy came!! We had so much fun - we visited the pigs, horses, cows, sheep, and goats and Avery got up close and personal with lots of them. Her favorite was definitely the clown band and she showed off her moves to their music. And what would the fair be without the food? Although we didn't try the Fried Pepsi, we did enjoy Pork burgers, fried taters, an elephant ear, real milk milkshakes, and lemon shake-ups! Yum!

And as fun as it was, we did have one scare at the end. Avery got a balloon on the way out and shortly after playing with it she started gagging. We rushed to a first aid tent and found a nurse who said it was likely an allergic reaction to latex. We have a doctor's appt this week to find out! Avery was back to her happy self within a few minutes but those precious minutes were scary for the rest of us. Katie and I both noticed that the nurse that helped us was the same nurse that was at the St. V's ER when we took Avery in after she fell and hit her head as a five month old. God was looking out for us, huh?

Can't wait till next year. Maybe they'll have fried Cheerios!
