2011 NE State Fair

On Friday, we planned to go to the State Fair.  Lily and I were there first in the rain.  The parking lot was so muddy, but we made it through.  Mom and Dad met us there and we walked around in the EXPO building for a little bit.  Matt was meeting us there shortly after he got into town. 

We were going to wait by the camel for Matt, when Mom got sick.  She was dehydrated and had lost all her energy and her blood pressure had dropped drastically.  The ambulance took her to St. Francis where they gave her two bags of fluid.  We stayed at the fair and kept in contact with Dad on her progress.  Good thing there was a great medical team at the Fair that took care of her.

Virgie later joined us on her way home from Omaha.  We had a great time.  The rain had stopped (it started up a little bit later), and it was a nice evening.

Camel Ride

Lily's first ride, all by herself!!!  She picked the purple helicopter.

I got to go with her on the second ride.  She calls it the coller coaster.  This was so much fun because there is one part where it goes down fast and does a sharp turn.  She screamed so loud and then belly laughed.  I couldn't stop laughing at her. :)

Daddy and Lily on the bumper cars.

In the Birthing Pavillion.  I think this is the best idea.  There were baby pigs, lambs, and cows.


Largest Steer in NE.  I got this picture to show Uncle John.  He was huge.

Ha Ha, I took a picture of Lily as the Pig in a Bag, but for some reason that picture didn't upload.  But, good ol' Daddy's photo did!  :)

Lily loved the coller coaster so much that she took Gigi on it too.

I tried to capture them on the fast part.  You can kinda see them!
Game time




Well, Matt and Gigi did not get any animals for Lily.  She got herself one because the guy let her get down and pop one herself.  ha ha!

So, all in all, we had a great night.  We wish my parents could have enjoyed it with us because we had been planning it all week.  Mom is doing fine now, she went to her doctor on Saturday night and got things worked out.
