The County Fair

Well, we finally made it to the county fair. We had intended to go last Monday, when it was free for everyone, but Daniel decided to spike a 102-104 fever that day. So instead, we went on the very last day of the fair, which actually wasn't too bad. We missed seeing the pigs and chickens, as they had gone home, but we saw lots of other animals. The food was great, of course, and I couldn't believe how much Gretchen was eating. She had to have bites of everything - chicken nuggets, french fries, ice cream, noodles, salmon sandwich, funnel cake - you name it, she ate it! How she still only weighs 20 pounds is beyond me!

The kids got to ride a train, too, and they loved that. It was our last thing to do before leaving around 8pm, so it was starting to get dark, but the kids enjoyed it, and the conductor gave us an extra turn around the track because it was the last ride of the fair this year.

We had a really great time, and even got in free! There were some people getting in just before us that had extra tickets that they had already bought, so they gave them to us. I think we'll go on the last day from now on - you still get to see most everything, but the crowds are less.
