Summer Vacation 2013: Country Fair Time

We do love us a country fair.  So off we went!

They had me at pig races... (which also featured bonus weiner dogs dressed in hot dog costumes!)

We looked at animals...  These must be part of the Sheep Witness Protection ProgrAAAAm.

 Um. Nice?

 Psst...  Sweet piggies...  Be really glad you can't read.

 Baby possums!  Squee!!

The peeps are peeping out!

Please do not win a cow.

 You may, however, pet one.  This one's name was Pumpkin.

We saw all kinds of vehicles and "rode" tractors...

There was digger dancing...  Oh, yes.  You heard me.

You'd like to see a video?  OK.  I am so good to you.

We also broke boards and ate all kinds of fried food.  NOM.

Yep.  We had a grand old time.

7/07 - Weekend fun: County Fair Edition

We hit the county fair on the last day, and were rewarded with cooler temperatures and light(er) crowds.  First, we had to hit the pig races!

Then, we spent quite a while at the petting zoo, where I once again confirmed that roller derby blocking skillz work really well vs. aggressive goats.

 Hello?  Can you hear me now?

 I may or may not have stalked this llama and made it pose with me.

 Pre-birthday funnel cake for me!  NOM!

 Not exactly a cowboy, but having lots of fun.

 All aboard!

I sure do love me a county fair!  Thanks to the kids and to Mama for taking me.  :)

7/01 - Weekend fun: County fair edition

This weekend, we went to the county fair.  The traditional 4th of July fog cooled it down and made it quite pleasant fair weather!

Of course, we had to have cotton candy...

I wanted to pose in front of one of the many "deep fried something on a stick" stands.  This year, I saw posters for deep fried:  watermelon, Oreos, fruit loops, pineapple upside down cake, as well as the usual corn on the cob, Twinkies, etc.

 So many cute pigs to pet!

 Milking a virtual cow...

 And zooming around on fast kid rides.  Vroom!!  See ya next year, county fair!

(Special thanks to David and Joanne for being my helpers!)
