Take Me Out to the Fair

This year the kids and I had the opportunity to attend two fairs.  Our county fair in Indiana and the state fair in North Dakota.  The county fair was filled will running into friends...

LOTS of sensory experiences...

(The woman who owned this animal was looking for "R" names for her crew.  When she met our Ruby she proudly declared she'd be using that name on the next newborn!)

and good-byes.



The North Dakota State Fair was filled with time with dad...



and lots of rides...

(Note to self:  35 year old women should not ride the teacups.  Ever.  Again.  That is all.  Although hearing David giggle uncontrollably through the whole thing almost made it worth it.  Almost.)

great food, and one game that a certain 10 year old could not be talked out of!
