County Fair

We had a busy weekend with Grace and Ian here for a sleepover on Friday night, Mimmu's birthday dinner on Saturday, followed by a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Sunday and Monday. They left Tuesday morning and we went to the fair with Grace and Ian.
The girls this year And last yearIt was much cooler than usual this year which made walking around more pleasant. We saw pigs, sheep, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens and assorted other poultry. Nora was brave enough to pet a goat and two chickens this year. The petting barn had a donkey and a pile of seven sleeping piglets. We collected various souvenirs (combs, balloons, back scratchers, coloring books) and looked at the exhibits. Congratulations to our friends Opal, Lian, and Nathaniel for being the owners of the Grand Champion pumpkin! We had a combination picnic/fair food lunch (the kids ate fries and vegetables). And for our after meal treat we had cotton candy.
