The County Fair

Today the kids and I went to the county fair. We had a really good time! The kids really enjoyed all the animals. This was the closest they'd ever been to a turkey (me, too, actually). They also liked the ducks in the swimming pool, the floppy eared rabbits (which we got to pet), and the cows (but not so much the cow-pies). We also saw horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, chickens, and guinea pigs. I had no idea you could show guinea pigs at a fair.





They each rode a spinny, make-you-puke ride and then jumped in the bounce house. They also got to play 2 games. A cameraman from a local news channel taped Tyler playing the balloon dart game. Apparently he caught Danielle at the fish pond, too. She appeared for a split second on the 6pm news tonight. Maybe Tyler will be on at 11. They also rode the ponies, but the guy was grumpy and wouldn't let me take their pictures. Before leaving we indulged in bags of cotton candy, which the kids enjoyed on the way home. We had a great day!
































Tonight Danielle decided she wanted to keep some worms for pets, so she convinced Tyler to help her look for some. She found two very, very small worms, which she named Wormy and Willa.

We had a great day with Uncle Don at Cedar Point--lots of make-you-puke rides. Does Danielle know that worms often end up on the wrong end of a hook? I'd keep an eye on Wormy and Willa.

Looks like a lot of fun!

I remember having a pet worm at one time as a child too! It met a sort of untimely demise though.
