The Fair

What is summer without a trip to the fair?! We actually got to go twice - once just Peter and I on a double date with Krissy and Ray to see "Little Big Town" (a Little Big Let Down - but still fun to roam the fair!) and again with all the kids - and I mean ALL the kids! We had my 3, and Trish had her 3, plus our good friend Jodi's 3 kids (she is a 4h leader and was at the fair all week), and Krissy's 3 kids (well if you count Lily, we didn't have to keep track of her!) It was so fun and so hot! We got some funny looks - when we went through the goat barn one of the 4h kids asked, "What do we have here? A day care or something!" :) We ended up staying for about 5 hours - there was much to do, but I'm honestly surprised we lasted that long!

This is almost the whole pack of kids!

This sheep scared the crap out of a couple of the kids - it bleated really loud and the kids close by jumped and cried. Charley didn't seem phased, the diva that she is.
We did have to hit a few rides! This is Ryan and Charley on their love boat.

Makenna loved this hot air balloon ride!
You can't really see 'em but Makenna and Kate and Jack and Brook and Josh - am I leaving anyone out? . . . Went on this mini roller coaster, quite the rush for the 7 and under crowd.
Porter felt safer on the jeeps and bikes - things that don't go too far off the ground.

After the rides and treats we hit the family fun zone - and the heat hit us! They jumped in a big inflatable tent thing and did a relay race and there was an experiment exhibit and a make believe circus - then it was definitely time to go home. It was sure a great day and we can surely say we didn't miss out on the fair!
