we in the Hicks family have a yearly tradition (one that I absolutely love)...we try to go to the Indiana State Fair every year together! I love family bonding moments with my awesome fam....and they seem to get better and better as the rugrats get older!
we typically start out at the DNR building, so Wyatt can get some fishin' in. the fish weren't biting today, and I think Wy got bored rather quickly.
Charlotte had fun in the meantime though. she liked to pick leaves and steal Grandaddy's walking stick. such a big girl!
we always stop at the Little Hands on the Farm where the kids get to be little "scharmers" (as Wyatt used to say). Charlotte didn't want to give her food back, but she looked super cute in her little apron.
Charlotte loves her Geeg.
we love having Grandaddy around. he's always willing to take the stroller and wait for us as we dilly-dallied behind. he's literally the best.
Grandaddy may never see his walking stick again. little Charlotte thinks it's hers (even though its way bigger than she is!)
of course the beignets were a big hit with Wyatt and Char.
(side note--being allergic to gluten absolutely sucks when you're somewhere like the State Fair. the only thing I could find that I could eat was curly fries. hello! I can get those anywhere. I wanted fair food! I told Sister that I want to open up a salad bar food truck for the Fair. duh, how great would that be?!? true, there would be no deep-fried Oreos or whatever....but I could eat there. and let's be real, that's all that matters.)
the only thing Wyatt really cared about was playing games. so once the Midway opened, Sister and I took him over there to play some games. Wyatt loved throwing the darts at balloons. Sister and him even tried their hand at shooting water guns. (Sister won).
Wyatt won an inflatable snake sword...and kept posing with it and yelling "Thunder Snakes"! that boy is absolutely my favorite. the things he comes up with makes my whole day and my heart feel full.
another super fun day with the Hicks fam! I am completely grateful for my family and I love that we love spending time together! until next year....
