I can't believe that I forgot to mention yesterday that KENNY CHESNEY was at the fair over the weekend!! That's right! One of my friends recognized him and shook his hand! He was wearing a baseball cap pulled way down and glasses walking throught the crowd at the Santa Fe concert. He is good friends with Payton Manning, so we figure he was visiting with him. I remember him being there with Payton one other time.
One thing I love about the fair is that you can eat a piece of cake this big for breakfast and it's okay! He
did eat eat it all and he
did have a sugar high the rest of the day! This is Tyler (a cousin).
My Granny and her brother and sister. Granny is bottom left. This was the first fair she has been to in several years. We were so glad to see her!
Grandaddy and his boys enjoying the fair! Judd is a Grandaddy's boy!
Blaine and Kelly playing the nintendo ds in the bedroom where it's cool!
Unfortunately, Jamey...
and his good buddy, Hulio, had to leave on Sunday. Jamey had to be in Illinois Sunday night. Jamey had to get up and leave fairly early, but Hulio stayed around for some horse races. He's a first time fair goer! It was really quiet last night without them! They are both hilarious! Jamey, don't worry, we'll save some fun for you!
By the way, Jamey is officially a home owner! He closed on his first house last week. We will spend the next few weeks and probably months remodeling it. We are going to make it the perfect bachelor pad!
This is what you call a chair race. I'm sure there are some of you that have never seen one! It takes place after the last running horse race of the day. They can be very physical! The stands seem to fill up right before the chair race begins. Sometimes it is more exciting than the horse races! These pictures are from 2 different days.
Julie and I decided to put some chairs out on Friday! I think we did good considering we didn't get in the actual race. We waited until all of the running was over with! We are right under the red X.
Neal McCoy put on a GREAT show. He is quite the entertainer! We had really good seats and I even caught a guitar pick and a towel (freshly wiped with Neal McCoy sweat!). Blaine watched the whole show with us. He loved it! 
Jamey came in 2nd. He led most of the race, but got beat by a nose at the wire. His mule got distraced and wanted to jump the fence, so the lady passed him. For some reason, Jamey always lets the girls win!
and, too much of this...
Just so he won't get lost!
Judd enjoyed the "penny ride" ( that's what Blaine calls these rides. He thinks they only cost a penny... I wish!) 
Blaine and Hanna loved the bumper cars!
Hanna and Papa Z on the Frog Hopper. Blaine was not quite brave enough for this ride!
Judd was so scared of this man at the shooting game! If the man moved even slightly, Judd would start crying!
Papa Z and his kids
