A day at the fair....

It's that time of year again... time to put on your Wranglers, grab your cowboy hat, and mozy on down to the Washington County Fair. OK, so no one in our house owns Wranglers or a cowboy hat, but we do know how to mozy. We took the kids down to the fair last night for what proved to be an exhausting evening. We really talked the fair up to the kids this past week... the cows, pigs and horsies... the fast rides... buckin' bulls at the rodeo... and of course the funnel cake. Well though we love to sing Old McDonald E-I-E-I-OOOOOO, Austin and Avery would prefer to sing about the animals rather than be around them up close. We were up at the pig barn and all it took was a loud squeal from one of the pigs. They both clung tight to us the rest of the night whenever we got anywhere near an animal (except the rabbits).
Avery loved the rides... couldn't wait to get on the hobby horses. She would have stayed down there all night. Austin wasn't a fan of the hobby horses (cried the whole time) or kiddie roller coaster, but he was ok with the cars and motorcycles. The rodeo was the opposite, Austin loved it... Avery didn't. Austin's eyes would get big as the buckin' bull came out of the shoot. Avery would turn her eyes and bury her face into my chest. At least they both agreed on the funnel cake - loved it. Grease + sugar = simple goodness. Caleb came down later in the evening, but is still way too young to enjoy the sights and sounds. He got a kick out of watching Avery putting her finger through the cage wire to touch the bunnies and then jumping back when she touched one. We may try to go again on Friday... if we're feeling like
Here's a few pics I got in the middle of shuffling kids to and fro. If we attempt to go again on Friday I hope to get a few more...
