Jackson, MS State Fair

"Jackson & I riding on the Carousel." This was his first ride at any attraction, really his first ride ever. At first I thought he was starting to cry, but when I looked down at his face he was laughing and seemed to think it was pretty fun. I on the other hand didn't really like the spinning effect, but I soon found my feet.



What it would be like to be a child again!


As we walked around the fair grounds we came across this guys holding a baby alligator. I stopped first and wanted to take a closer look. Jackson then saw what I was looking at and followed with curiosity! When the guy came to Jackson's level, he wasn't sure what to do. I touched first and then Jackson, I had to help of course!


He is so funny! He wasn't interested in touching as much as looking it in the face. When we were done, he just stood there while everyone else held it and took pictures. He was very observant!

I always wonder what he is thinking!

Well, were pretty disappointed with the State Fair. We went on the last day which was probably our fault, but lucky enough that there wasn't a lot of people. That made it more enjoyable for Jackson to cruise at his own pace. We were looking forward to the farm animals, but they were already on their way home. There were lots of goats, but Jackson wasn't impressed. There was a small petting zoo area, all of which were Pygmy goats! Wow!

We had a good family day that ended with lunch and some shopping, but the best part was there was a Target! Jeff and I laughed at how excited we were to be going to Target. They don't have one here in Columbus and the nearest is an hour away.

We got another car seat for Jackson that converts to a booster seat and a couple hot wheels. He loves hot wheels!

It was a good Sunday!
