We went to the fair last night. On opening night, no less, as it was the our only chance to go before heading off to Farley's II.
It was great.
Got in for $1 (with a canned food donation) and we were treated to all the sights and sounds of Americana at its finest. Livestock barns, of course, where Jack and Ivy were disappointed by the lack of pettable cows, but enthralled with the very sociable miniature horses.
Here's Jack trying to call a calf over to the fence.
And, feeding the horses.
Other favorites included the sheep and goats, who were also quite friendly. Here's Ivy taking off to see what's across the barn. It seems a lot of pictures of her, recently, involve her striding off, fearlessly, away from us...
A dinner of more greasy food than we could handle, in the pavilion next to the chainsaw-carving guy (great choice, there, mom... Poor Jack had to go sit somewhere else so that he could eat; he just couldn't handle the noise. We were finally tipped off to this when he crawled under the table...)
And, the rides! This is why the fair is so wonderful. Where else in the civilized world can you find such a perfect combination: good selection of kiddie rides, elephant ears, AND barns full of cows?

The girls, waiting for Jack. Next year, loves, next year...
