210/365: Champaign County Fair

Yep, my blog is now going to be following the county fair circuit.

Just kidding! My brothers were at fairs within reasonable driving distance two days in a row and I couldn't resist the chance to see them.


I'll let the pictures do the talking.


I'm not sure what this says about me, but I was swelling with pride as I took this picture.


And this one, too. Just a few seconds after this. Jeremy walked over to the tractor and leaned up to give Jonathon a high five. Just thinking about it makes me swell with even more pride.


I love my brothers, I really do. Which should be obvious since I came to a tractor pull at noon. Seriously who schedules a tractor pull at NOON? In JULY?


As it turns out, my twin destroyed the competition. He got first place. The first time that either of my brothers has ever came in first. Chelsea and I ran down onto the track to see Jon as soon as the class was over. They had my brother drive the tractor down in front of the grandstand and then had a mini-interview in the "winner's circle."


Here's one picture I captured and didn't even realize how much I loved the photo until later. I just wanted a closeup of Savannah. When I uploaded the photo onto my computer though, I realized that my brother was so happy in this moment. He was standing in the winners circle and I can see that his nose is all scrunched up because he is smiling. He doesn't smile very often. At least not on camera. And then there is Miss Savannah holding onto her daddy's arm and I think it is just about the sweetest thing ever.
