We invited our friends, the Bocanegras, to go with us. They hadn't been to a fair in almost 20 years. It was Labor Day, and there was the potential for it to be crazy crowded, but it actually wasn't that bad. It was only $1 to get in till 1pm.
We spent the bulk of our time at the fair in the farm animal section. We saw bulls, cows, calves, pigs, piglets, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies, horses, donkeys, mules, and even reptiles.
Here are the kids in a maze of straw bails.
Anna took the kids into the petting zoo.
Duncan was having a fun time among the animals- both farm and fair-going.
Jennan is getting some animal food from our friend Melissa. Melissa's daughter Sarah and Tegan are having fun too.
Liam and Duncan getting up close with a King snake.
Liam feeding a huge goat. btw- Nice goatee Mr. Goat.
Liam checking out a bearded dragon.
The kids also spent some time indoors doing some fun stuff like playing with these large foam building blocks.
We also walked through a couple of retail buildings, but the kids were definitely NOT into that, so we headed over to the flower and garden section of the fair too. It's very hilly over there and it wore us all out. We made our way back through the fair and back to the vans, and it was about 6pm. We were there a lot longer than we thought we would be, but it was a good trip.
I think it would be fun to go back with just Anna and I, but I don't think that will work out. So, there's always next year!
