Eastern Montana State Fair

The weekend of August 21 we went to the Eastern Montana State Fair in Miles City, Montana. We drove up Friday mrning and did some shopping in town. That afternoon my dad met up with us. (He's a long-haul truck driver and was driving through.) We headed to the fair grounds where Kaylei rode her first ride all by herself. I was very nervous letting her go by herself but she did fine!

Kaylei's 1st solo ride. Notice how she holds the center bar.

Look how high it goes! I really didn't want her to go alone.

By the second time around Kaylei lets go of the bar, leans back, and enjoys the ride. Silly mom, this isn't scary at all!

Riding like a pro!

On the merry-go-round with her pop-pop.

Kaylei's favorite part: The petting zoo! The owner of the zoo commented on how Kaylei could catch and pick-up the animals with such care. (Right after this comment, Kaylei was caught hitting the alpaka in the face so we took her out.)

We wrapped up the fair by watching the rodeo. (Troy's trainer warden's younger brother took first in the bucking bronco contest!)
