The Sandwich Fair

My entire life I've spent Columbus Day Weekend with family in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. That weekend this sleepy New England town is taken over by a big country fair. It was so much fun to take Ella to her first Fair Weekend.


Rob, John, Dad, Ellen, Sara, Carole, Ella, and Grammy at the fair trying to decide between friend dough and a bloomin' onion.














The Baby Bjorn carrier was the perfect way for Ella to travel through the crowded fair.
















The lights, sounds, and helium balloons kept her highly entertained.












Watching the Sandwich Parade from our traditional spot is a highlight of the weekend.













Our favorite part of the parade was Aunt Connie, Auntie Lib, and Uncle Frank who were with the Over the Hill Hikers.











A well-bundled Ella watched the parade with Aunt Ellen (a classic baby-snatcher. Don't even try to hold the baby when she's around!)












After the parade we enjoyed the afternoon at Lib and Frank's house. Look at that view!







Ella loves playing with Auntie Sara!












Checking out her reflection in the sliding glass doors, with Grandaddy Rybolt.











Giving high-fives with Sara, Eric, and Melissa.
