Field Trip!

The long-awaited county fair has finally arrived.  The fun kicked off with a parade yesterday evening, followed by a trip out to see the sights this morning.  Enjoy!

Waiting....
See those baseball caps? By the time we left they were all 3 full of candy!

I think Alan waved at everything that passed by.  Including a huge 2-armed wave to the John Deere equipment. 

Tyler loved.... this thing.... the first thing he saw this morning.  He thought it was great!

Let's inspect it a little closer.  Yep... it's got lug-nuts.

When you keep a calf in your backyard a few months you find yourself even more interested in watching other people show theirs!  (I love the contrast in these two boys... blonde/brunette, tennis shoes/boots... I could go on and on.  And yet they are best friends!)

Never met this kind high-schooler before in our lives, but she was sweet enough to stop and talk to our crew and let them pet her sheep!

Bunnies!

Dale, nose-to-nose with a camo-wearing sheep.  

My little cowboy, inching as close as he could get!

For whatever reason, I took no pictures in the other exhibit buildings, but my guys enjoyed (almost as much as the animals) looking at the all of the art, crafts, quilt & garden entries.  

Fun day, and super thankful to be able to enjoy it as a family in the quiet, not-crowded daylight of a cool morning!
