County Fair...

A few weeks ago I packed the kids up and headed to the local county fair...Jon was planning on going with us, but he had to work out-of-town throughout the weekend. It is a little tough to enjoy the fair with the kids and be the photographer...so we only have a couple pictures.
We went through all the animal buildings...James wanted out of the bumbleride so he could see the animals better. Elsie, on the other hand wanted in the bumbleride...she is terrified of most animals...and those rows of cows held there by just a rope were a little much for her! After looking at the animals we headed to the mid-way! Neither of our children have ever been on any amusement rides...I decided that this year Elsie was old enough to try a ride. So we walked around and found just the right ride...some sparkly cars that went around and around in a circle. Elsie was excited as she handed the lady her ticket. Just as I was helping her into the pink sparkly car she got a funny look on her face, shook her head and whispered, "I don't want to ride after all, mommy!" So, we got our ticket back and walked away. My baby girl is not quite as grown up as she thought...and I am not going to complain on bit!

Before we left we gave another family our un-used ticket and headed for the cotton candy stand! No fair trip is ever complete without a bag of cotton candy!

James is very well aware of what cotton candy is and how yummy it tastes!

Just as we were loading everything up in our car before heading home the aunties and Papa Wayne pulled up...so we went back into the fair and walked around with them for a little bit...

Papa Wayne let James drive all the Jonh Deere tractors for quite some time...James loved it!

All to soon it began getting dark and the kids began getting tired...an evening spent at the fair is the very best kind of evening...
