introducing...


jack jr.




sam and the kids claim he followed
them home from the football game 




sam also claims he wouldn't let the kids
touch him




i'm not really sure i buy that




either way, jack jr is here to stay




he is rarely put down




and receives endless amounts of kisses




he even has a "favorite" spot



but you will only find him up there after bedtime!!!

old thresher's--the rest of it


we parked in town and rode the bus to the grounds.
this was taken seconds before the back door mysteriously came open sounding the alarm--my guess is that it wasn't the boy in the black cowboy hat!



 anxious to get to the fun




the kids love riding the bus--i have wonderful memories of riding those same buses 


just inside the gates--5 of the 6



lia in her element!




just taking it all in


sofie borrowed the bonnet and dress from cousin clara



he just crawled under this old car and started looking around--
it was so funny 




the girls with cousin pearl at the saloon show



kye and ruthie--ready for the show



after the saloon show we headed out to watch the bank robbery--



after the shows the cowboys throw money out to the kids.
here they are getting it autographed 


our favorite--the train robbery




somewhere, we have a picture just like this with my sister and i in those same windows





here's the inside










 the robber's have boarded the train



this cowboy couldn't take his eye's off of them












here's the good guys






didn't end well for either--ha




just boarded the trolley to head over to the indian village 



sofie with the fan she purchased--it was over 100 degrees that day



and lia with her purchase--sweets!!!




we love old threshers!!!
