The Salt Lake County Fair

After Gymnastics, we headed to the fair. We had not been for many years, but thought it would be a cheap and fun thing for everyone. Stacey, Dwayne, Grandma, and Grandpa joined us in the fun. Lucy got to see a bunch of new animals. Here is our little family with a 9 mo old Kangaroo.

Lucy got out of the stroller, walked right up to this cow, stuck her hand in and touched it's face and ear, the turned around and said "I touched it"

The longest pony ride ever! I swear it was at least a 6-8 min ride.

Lucy on a PINK tractor. She also got to be a "farmer for the day" and picked an apple from a fake tree, got an egg from under a fake hen, and then dug in a box of dirt for a potato. After she got everything on the list they gave her a red ribbon.

They also had a painting station set up, so while everyone looked at the pictures, Lucy sat very nicely, and painted a red and blue dinosaur. 

We had such a busy day, but on the way home from the fair, Lucy said "I had fun day" which made it all worth it. 

Gymnastics

Lucy started her gymnastics class on Saturday.

She got a new outfit, that she picked out and kept begging to go to "class" all morning.

Lucy has a wonderful teacher named Miss Mackenzie, 

you can tell she really loves to help the kids learn something new.

Lucy learned how to do what she calls "hands and feet" all by herself!

By far Lucy's favorite thing to do is the bar.   She has so much upper body strength that Miss Mackenzie had her try a flip. Lucy would watch the Gymnastics video multiple times a day waiting to go to class. She would always talk about the bar, it did not disappoint!

One thing I was not prepared for was Lucy being scared of the balance beam, she had to be holding on to someone's hand the whole time. Our hope is just to let her run off energy, and learn how to listen, well a little better anyway.
