Who doesn't love a trip to the fair? How could you not enjoy the many booths full of cotton candy, elephant ears, funnel cakes, giant ice cream cones, and even deep fried Twinkies? Yes, the fair is the one place where eating all the junk food you can is not only acceptable, but encouraged. We did our part and indulged in a few of the above mentioned treats. Although it was still pretty hot outside, we had a pretty fun time last night. The kids had a fun time seeing all the animals, although Claire didn't really care for the smell. She walked through most of the barns holding her nose. :) Grace just loved seeing all the different kinds of "doggies". Although by the end of the night, she was calling all the animals "horsies" instead. At least we made a little progress.
One of the highlights was watching the pig races. They provided free betting, so we all chose a pig to win and got a corresponding colored ticket. Then we sat back and got ready to cheer on our pig. There were 2 races, and the "blue" pig won both times...the only one in the family with a blue ticket...Grace! She won a blue ribbon that said "my pig won". She wore it proudly around the fair (We had to put it on her back for her to keep it on).
