The animals of course. Beau especially loves checking out the animals, though Henley is VERY fond of all the furry creatures too.
The people watching. A favorite of mine. Why is it that over 1/2 of the fair-goers are teenage girls who seem to have an aversion to covering their skin!
The rides. Another favorite of mine...though my big belly kept my feet on the ground this year. I watched people on the SWING and longed to be among them! I hold out hope that my kids don't take after their father (he gets sick on rides), and will go along with their momma when the time comes!
The food. A fair elephant ear is a must. Yumm! For what they charge for those things, you would think they were made of real ear. Thankfully not, and thankfully one was large enough to be shared among my family of 5. I certainly could have EASILY put away the entire delectable treat on my own, but then I would have had some sad little eyes watching me! :)
A video of these pigs would have been better. They were so cute, "kissing" snout to snout through their pens.
This stallion was so handsome. He was a little camera shy though.
After seeing the animals, we headed to an interactive play area for little kids. Hazel and Henley both loved this display. The objective was to clean up the farm yard. Hazel would leave the display, then come running back saying, "Time to be a farmer girl."
Henley needed daddy's help to get his tractor to go.
Richie was a pro.
My little farmer girl.
You may wonder what they are all watching...
Moto-X racers! I was worried the entire time...but the rest of my family was enthralled. The biggest kid of all being Beau. Henley, don't get any ideas. Mommy will not support this sport!
Yikes!
We all ate corn. Yummy, buttery, messy fair corn.
One final snuggle with a fair creature, and it was time to go home.

A fun way to spend a warm summer night!
