Fair time for the girls!

This is Jon. Labor Day weekend always signals the Kittitas County Fair and the Ellensburg Rodeo. This is my 10th straight year of covering rodeo for the Daily Record with Brittany by my side and of course the girls over the last few years have truly enjoyed going to see the fair. I took plenty of vacation time to make sure we got to take it all in. These pictures are from Thursday's opening day, probably the easiest day to take the girls because the rodeo schedule is light.

Everyone's so excited that only one person's looking at the camera. I think Brittany is stunning in this photo.

Delaney playing peek-a-boo with one of the horsies on display.

Delaney was mesmerized by the "moo-ing" cows. This one was being washed and dried outside of its stall while we took the picture.

D-Rae checking out a just shorn sheep. Many of them were wearing blankets and she thought that was so cute that they were getting ready for bed.

Addy Bear meeting with the goats.

Two pretty girls posing with two cows. I can see where some might turn that caption and picture into a joke, but I won't.

Adelyn has a knack for turning her head a split second before the camera clicks. Still a cool photo. This is from the south grandstands at the rodeo as we were watching slack from the rodeo. Slack is where many timed event cowboys and cowgirls (calf roping, steer wrestling, steer roping, team roping and barrel racing) compete a round since there are so many of them, too many to fit in the rodeo performance. One more note, Delaney is not a boozie. That's a root beer bottle, not a Coors Banquet Beer.

The girls made a friend at slack and ran and played all around the grandstands.

This time Delaney turned around as I clicked the photo. Still a good one though.
