Mercedes was the first girl in the group to have her face painted.  Here, the finishing touches are being applied to her face.  After this the lady blew sparkles onto the wet paint so her decoration would sparkle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Erin is looking in the mirror and admiring the ladybug that was painted on her face.  This picture hides a feature of Erin's that will be readily apparent in the next picture.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After the face art we also found a booth offering spin art so each girl tried their hand at that.  Here are the results.  Notice that Natalia has an M&M guy on her face while Emily decided not to have her face painted at all.  Did you guess that Erin is getting new front teeth?  Her baby teeth have all fallen out and her new teeth are coming in!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Next, the girls decided to ride the Ferris Wheel.  Here are Erin and Mercedes being fastened in.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Natalia and Emily look like "caged animals" but they're really just trying to rock their seat.  The guy who was running the ride managed to make them scream by rocking it for them (further than they probably wanted to go!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Later in the day, it was time for the Tractor Pull.  Here's Emily, giving it her all.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Erin had her try next.  Sure would have been nice to be driving Grandpa's lawn tractor rather than having to pedal herself.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Mercedes was up next.  As you can tell, she really put some effort into it.  Maybe next year she'll win a prize.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Natalia was in the next age group so she has five weights on the wagon in addition to the one hanging on the front of the tractor (so the front wheel doesn't leave the ground).  With her long legs, she would have appreciated a bigger tractor.
