Who knew 50 would look like this?

Every year we go to the state fair on or around Lee's birthday. Not on purpose, it just always worked out that way. We go on a home school fieldtrip and the dates land on his birthday. So, this has been the tradition since Savannah was a preschooler. Now, here we were heading to the fair on Lee's 50th birthday with Savannah, her house mate and caregiver - Brittany and Valerie, Alyx, and all our littles. Well, Daddy does not like all the high fast rides like he used to but he always has fun having fun with the kids.

Thad loved the animals at the fair

Savannah and Susi, Brittany, Graci, Thad,Serenity,Kamby,Dax, and Alyx. It is always tought to get a group pic but at lease most everyone is looking forward.

Graci opted to ride on the bench with Susi instead of a horse on the merry go round. Susi is a little scared of high things and it is hard for her to hold on with her legs. She was totally happy to ride on the bench and her sister always chooses to be with her over anything else. It is so endearing! Graci loves Susi so much! And when you ask Susi what makes her happy, she say "Graci". Isn't that so precious!

A favorite at the fair was the butterfly pavillion. Some were actually terrified of the butterflies but most of them loved it!

Susi spent an hour or more on the wiggle riders. This is the first thing she has been able to ride by herself and boy was she happy. Guess what she is getting for Christmas!

Kamby dug the wiggle riders too!

Alyx made a cheesecake for Daddy's 50th and insisted on 50 candles, even though she had to borrow some from the neighbors.

Daddy loving 50!
