This lil girl latched onto Lil Lilly and they rode around the arena for a good long while....the lil girl just askin a million questions. It was her first fair ever. Thought it was kinda cute.....her first, and Lil Lilly's last.

LOL thought I had the camera on video..but somehow the knob got moved and I took a picture right when she was comin in the allyway for poles. (Gate man looks like he's in a hurry LOL) Had to roll it real quick to video and get with it.

Lil fella can't decide if he want's to rodeo, or farm....he had his boots and socks off, just diggin in the dirt, while they presented awards to the kids.

Great pictures and story, Jersey Lilly. This one is my favorite, because of what it represents.

Ok....a few more pictures from the fair. LOL I asked her about the lil girl and her questions. She did ask alot of barrel racin questions. But Lil Lilly said...."She kept askin if we could run......cuz she wanted to see how fast Toilet Paper would go."

Since she's been sprintin him, he's picked up quite a bit of speed, now he's over runnin the barrels a lil bit...so she's gotta work on gettin his/and her rate point fixed. But it'll come.

Here she is on poles. She doesn't run Toilet Paper in poles.....the last time he was entered up in poles was two years ago at fair. He placed 2nd. I was impressed. She plays around with poles at home.....but it's just somethin else to do other than barrels, nothin serious. He was flat gettin with it LOL

Nice job lil lilly! Another milestone has ended for ya...but with all that college has to offer, you won't get any rest Lilly! Knowing you and Mr. Lilly, you'll both keep just as busy helping out other kids in your area with all of their projects....In the meantime...take a deep breath!
