Fair Time

We went to the county fair today. Sadly none of the rides open until later this afternoon. Grayson told me on the way home that he couldn't wait to ride the merry-go-round when it got dark. I had to break it to him that we were not going back...sad, sad rest of the ride home.

Matalley was pretty cute with the petting zoo. She was timid at first and then when she had warmed up a little, she would go over and pat an animal just once on the back and whip her hand back behind her. Then after a little more time had passed, she went over to one of the goats and got right in her face and said, "hi, hi, hi baby, hi." I'm glad the goat didn't bite M's nose, which is what I would have expected. Finally as we were about to go, M was comfortable enough to pet the animals.Neither of the kids was too impressed with the fair food. We ate a plate of greasy potato shavings, fresh squeezed lemonade water, a greasy corn dog, and a cup of corn covered in mayo(not our choice, just came like that). I would have gotten a funnel cake but figured the grease pit that had formed in our- stomachs was big enough.
