County Fair: Trip #2
One more donut, one more donut, one more donut. Those were the words we chanted as we journeyed back to the county fair one last time before they closed last night. This time we took our in-laws too.
We started off in the 4-H building where Nathan had a coney dog. I got corn at the nearby Lion's Club booth. Yum. Then we ate free popcorn (Keegan's favorite). Then we had donuts. Keegan even ate some donut which was a big deal that he was willing to eat some fair food. I really wanted a sassparilla float too but they make their own ice cream and it wasn't ready yet. So, we opted for the chocolate shakes in the dairy barn instead.
I should mention that we had on shorts and t-shirts and I about froze. I have never been to a fair in the midwest... in July.... where it was COLD. It was windy and in the 60's when we left, plus I was drinking a cold milkshake. :) I won't complain but next time I know to dress warmer.
Here are some photos.
Kennedy enjoying the fair from the comfort of her stroller:
Keegan and his powdered sugar donut. He only ate the outside part but that was still a big deal due to his food sensory issues. I opted for one covered in cinnamon sugar and it was delicious.
Tractor Driver's Ed:
This old man is my absolute favorite. I wanted a close-up of him but didn't get a chance. He usually smokes a pipe and he sells sassparilla in bottles. He is a classic farmer and I just love the way he looks. I think his face tells a story.
My in-laws enjoying their Lion's Paw (that's eastside lingo for elephant ear):
This rooster actually posed for me when he saw my camera:
This guy was trying to make a break for it. (PS Nancy, if you're reading this.... here is another goat for you!) :)
This pig wanted to give me a big smooch. I don't kiss and tell, but......
Keegan decided to keep his distance:
This particular county fair is over and now we have a break until the 23rd when our own county fair starts. In the meantime, we'll be practicing things like overeating, pig calling, and hopping over manure piles! We can't wait to bring you our next fair report!
