The South Carolina State Fair is in town thru October 22nd. and Friday night at the Fair with three granddaughters was a memory maker. Our core group pictured above: four year old Ella, six year old Collins, Kitty before face paint, and Kaka who has a long tradition of State Fair attendance. Ella adores Collins who is the granddaughter of our best friends Kitty and Kaka. Our group also included Nana Pretty, Pretty Too Caroline the mother of Ella and Molly who spent much of the evening being whirled around in a stroller on loan from Grant who works with Kaka. The stroller was a lifesaver!
Molly and me at the Fair
before getting in better mood with bucket of Fiske Fries and corn dog
yeah, it’s a corn dog on a stick
and this is how it all went wrong
face painting not for the faint of heart – who is this Joker?
Collins wisely wore hoodie which came in handy as soft rain drizzled on us –
raspberry/blueberry snow cones not disturbed by rain
as girls take break from slides, monster rides, bumper cars and Big Ferris Wheel
pony rides always popular during rain
it’s okay for me to pet Lucy
ducks anyone?
Hey, I had a GREAT time, too, once they let me loose
Caroline texted us after getting Ella and Molly to bed much later than usual following our big evening at the Fair: “Ella told me on the way home she wanted the Fair to be her home and wanted Collins to live there, too. She said she’d sleep on the rides, and they’d pee in the grass. Lol. I was like there are bathrooms, Ella, and she said fine we will use the bathrooms.”
When can we go to the Fair again, Nana?

For all the children everywhere. Please stay tuned.
