A Day at the County Fair

The boys have never been to the County Fair before -- so we decided to take them!

Checking out the baby chicks.


The llamas were very interesting!


It might be hard to see -- but the boys are standing
in front of a huge bull! They even got to pet him!


There was a really cool fire engine exhibit - there was equipment from as far back as the mid-1800's. They had a fire box (the precursor to smoke detectors) which we have read about but never actually seen before.

Matthew explaining how the box works.


With all the choices there are for
fair food -- the boys picked pizza!


We got to see a little circus act -- it was great!


Matthew was even part of the show!
We learned he's better at putting dishes
in the cupboard than spinning them on a stick!


Sam picked the potato sack slide for one of his rides.


"Driving" a car together was fun!


A train ride rounded out their time on the rides.


Taking a break to watch "Mutton Bustin" -- that's three
and four year olds trying to ride a sheep. Pretty funny, but
I'm not sure I'd let my kids do it!


Two great boys -- fun to take
anywhere -- but especially to the fair!
