Ah...the Fair

We took the kids to the local fair this weekend. They had a blast! It is a one day fair with animals, pony rides, games, fun booths and of course food! We started the morning off by going on pony rides. The girls did not want to get off... They had so much fun they started crying when it was over. What a difference a year makes! Last year they cried when we tried to put them on the ponies!


We then went to the petting farm. The bunnies were the big hit here. Baby Dutch bunnies were everywhere! Got me thinking of when I was younger and raised and showed bunnies. I would love for my kids to get into 4-H also. With Lops of course because those are the superior bunnies to show:)

We visited the rest of the animals and walked along the booths. We watched some zumba and listened to great local music. The kids loved the snow cones. They each had a rainbow one. The girls enjoyed it a little too much and it was all over the front of them!


The kids got to tour firetrucks and they even got to use the hose and spray water out of it! There was a "burning" building they had to put the flames out on it. They toured a little house and learned about safety hazards and how to prevent them. Also, what to do in case of fire. They got to crawl out of the "second" story window. (It was a camper they made into 2 stories.)

The kids also played games like finding money in the haystack. They ate lots of cookies and snacks then it was off to swimming for a birthday party.
