Five Minute Friday ~ Our biggest of the littles might be small in stature... but she's big in heart and courage!

We took our littles to the county fair today/tonight. It wasn't their first visit, but only Victoria vaguely remembers going before - and what she mostly remembers is the animals... and watching the big cat show... from the last time! It's been four years, after all!

 

After a couple of hours there this morning/afternoon and a yummy-but-way-too-expensive-and-bad-for-your-health lunch with the whole family, we had to bring our biggers home for their sports practices and we decided that we'd return later in the evening, after the midway (i.e. the rides) opened, with just the littles. I figured they'd want to go through the fun houses, play a few games, ride the carousel and the ferris wheel and maybe the kiddie roller coaster. After all, they'd never been to an "amusement park" before in their entire lives.

She surprised me!

She's tiny... really she is... so it is easy to forget that she's 10 going on 18... except for those moments when her attitude and grumpiness rivals that of a much older teen.

She surprised us when she said she wanted to ride this ride... even after we made her stand there and watch.

And she exited the ride a bit steadier than her daddy did!

Boy! Do I LIKE this kid!
