Fair Fun - Day 90

Not a really great photo, but I wanted to show the adorable sun dress she was wearing today. She was the cutest one at the fair!

Check out this goat! Is that not cool? It was huge (for a goat) and had the most interesting coat.

LSP got to pet a baby bison. The first thing she said when she saw it was "Hold it!" It was a pretty darn cute buffalo.

Nana got her a cone full of food which she fed to the goats. First she held it for them...

Then she set it down without realizing it was JUST out of the poor goat's reach...

So she pushed on his head to try and help him reach the food.


She saw the man leading the ponies at the pony ride and said, "Man pushing them!"

She loved the bunnies! She kept poking this little guy in the butt but he didn't seem to mind.


The bunnies are my favorite animals at the fair, too.

Really, really interested in the model train set.


The roosters crowing made her laugh right out loud.


Playing with the "how to milk a cow" exhibit.



Nana bought her this way cute hat which she wore while eating dye-free sno-cone #1.


One of her favorite things was this miniature model caboose to play in.

Bouncy castle!!!!


The woman running this "pick the duck" game was very understanding of what toddlers consider fun. The prizes were pretty nice, too.

Dye-free sno-cone #2.


The day started out with the last swim lesson. We missed the last two because of the family reunion and LSP's cold. Today she did great, blowing bubbles, kicking, and she did a really fabulous back float. I was very proud of her.

Then we took her to a local fair. It's a pretty big one, with the usual rides and food and also a whole bunch of 4-H animals. I spent many, many hours (and dollars) here in my youth playing the silly games and riding the loudest, fastest rides I could find. It was great to be able to bring LSP here, though now I don't think I'd get on any of those loud, fast rides assembled by two guys who are drinking their way through a case of Bud Light.

It started out a little shaky with LSP a bit scared of the loud music. "No fair! No fair!" she said before we even got through the front gate. Once inside the first things we encountered were a pony ride and a petting zoo, and she was hooked. From there we went to the 4-H exhibits and saw rabbits and chickens and goats and sheep and cows and some massive Clydesdale horses. We also saw a model train exhibit that she loved. Papa will be thrilled! We rode the carousel which made LSP happy and Mommy a little ill. We ate a bunch of tasty fair food. Nana tried some deep fried jelly beans. Don't bother. They were as nasty as they sound. LSP's favorite was her custom made dye-free sno-cone. (aka a cup of ice). She had two. On the way out Grampy and Nana bought her a Sesame Street bus balloon and her day was compete. Fun at the fair!
