Fun at the fair

this post is a bit picture heavy, if that matters to any of you


into the fray
I love the fair. I’m not sure why. I definitely don’t love the crowds, but if I get a chance to go, I usually try to. This year was fun because it’s the first one where the dutchkid was really aware and excited about it.

pigs
The 4H kids might be my very favorite part.  We just finished Charlotte’s Web too, how perfect was that? We kept on talking about how Mrs. Zuckerman washed Wilbur with buttermilk to make him pretty. We saw lots of pretty pigs.

milking bessie
You could even milk a cow, which cracked me up. I didn’t grow up on a farm, but my brothers and sister had jobs milking. What city slickers will find entertaining.

ferris wheel

Then there was this bad boy, you should have heard the dutchkid plead to ride on it.
hi mom
She wasn’t even scared!

funnel cake residue
Of course funnel cake was near the top of my list. Oh, come on now, I only eat one once a year. We ended up wearing our powdered sugar, though, it was so windy.

night fair
I’m pretty sure a good time was had by all (except maybe dh, who was not so enthused about being the responsible party on the ferris wheel. How was I supposed to know he hadn’t ever ridden one before?).

Goodbye fair, see you next year!

    Oh, that looks like so much fun! Especially through the eyes of a kid.

    I love the fair! I mainly go for the food. You are right, it is only once a year.
