Our last big adventure here in Illinois was the DuQuoin State Fair.  The girls had a blast!  Our first stop was to grab some corn dogs- a first for both M and L...love at first bite.  It is quite an understatement to say that Lena enjoyed the animals and the rides.  She didn't want to leave the petting zoo until she realized Grandma was taking her on a pony ride next.  Maddie had no interest, so we watched Lena and Jalynn ride.  When Grandma put her up on the horse Lena said, "Yee haw!!  Giddee up, horsie!"  Next stop were the rides.  Maddie has the absolute diaper rash that I have ever seen, so she just wanted to be held for a while and watch all the kids.  Lena and JJ ran from ride to ride.  L started fussing when each ride would end.  She would only get off with the promise for another ride immediately after.  We were there well into nap time, so at about 2:30 we decided it was time to head home with our two sleepy toddlers.
