Fair Time

At 4 pm yesterday we went to the local county fair. At 5:07 we left said fair.

Me: "Did you get your $10 worth?"

Dustin: "Yup."

Never fear -- we did the rounds. We saw the camel, the miniature horses, the geese, the ducks, the llamas, and the random African animals in the petting zoo. We each ate a corn dog. Our shoes stunk of animal dung. We were duly impressed by the midway and vowed never to let Jaden to ride on 90% of the rides there.

Then we went home and had some vegetables to chase the corn dogs.

Dustin: "Do you think Jaden's old enough to watch the smash-up derby."
Me: "..."

And that will do until next year.

  1. I love the fair - but you are right - after an hour or so you are ready to go home! Did your dh win you a stuffed animal?

  2. Jaden appears to be enjoying the petting zoo. I enjoy the fair in small doses also. I think I'd enjoy the small county fairs better than the big State Fair here in our beloved state. I guess you can tell I'm a transplant...I'm pretty sure they evict people who don't LOVE the State Fair around here. It is an institution. Shhh...don't tell anyone I'm not a huge fan.
