County Fair

Our little family of 4 recently made a trip to the local county fair.  It is a HUGE fair.  We didn't even make it to a quarter of the areas.  Shortly after arriving, we met up with some friends in the farm animal area.  The kids love looking at all the animals.  Katelyn, as she usually does in this type of place, kept asking to go see the next animal.  Brooklyn on the other hand, grabbed onto the chain-link fence and wouldn't let go until I pried her fingers from the fence.  Kyle took them into the petting zoo, but that was still a little too intimidating and he ended up carrying them both.

 We were able to see some pig races, sharks & stingrays, and some 'safari' animals, such as zebras - which Katelyn was pretty excited about.  Kyle had to get a massive turkey leg for dinner.  I think it was a one time only type of thing.  Kyle & Katelyn went on the huge slide and the entire family went on the Merry-go-round. We started Brooklyn on her own horse and she held on super tight and looked frightened, then she burst into tears.  I think that this was the highlight for Katelyn.  It was the first thing she mentioned in the following days when we talked about the fair.  Also, that she got a new hat that she wore to the fair.

 

Already looking forward to our day at the fair next year. :-)
