All's Fair

[catelin]

We went to the local County Fair this past Saturday. This was the 107th year. I wore my best Minnie Pearl straw hat and overalls. Jacob opted for his Hawaiian shirt and Snoopy hat...always mindful of any festive occasion (this outfit was a particular favorite of the carnies...heh!). Max went for the Jerry Garcia "dancin' around the sun" groove. We stuffed ourselves with bratwurst and sauerkraut, played every game on the midway, and made beards out of our cotton candy. It was a glorious day.

Sounds like a wonderful day!
I used to love county fairs, especially the smallish ones in Maine. (But NOT the rides!!!)


But I can't believe you've been going for 107 years. Is it something in the water there? Do I need to contact my friends Mulder and Scully?

Could your kids be any cuter?

I want to get stuck at the top of the ferris wheel.

Ah!..My tummy warms and my toes curl!

It's the things like these that make it all worth while. Thank you so much for sharing.

The boys are precious! Did they have elephant ears? They're my favorite fair food.

Fabulous! I'm jealous. Sadly, i'm missing the state fair of Texas this year. I made it a tradition to go with friends every year and eat my way from one end to the other. Mmmm, roasted corn on the cob, funnel cakes....oh yeah.

And the petting zoo! They have the best petting zoo, with things like evil-eyed ostriches that lunge at the little food cups you hold out. And don't forget the car show, with all the new models!

Wish I could have made either the Howard or Frederick County fair this year. I love just about everything about them, in all their corny glory.

My favorite ride, the Round Up, has the thrilling effect of being the most spectacular push up bra around. Now if I could only maintain that without the spinning....

Do y'all have a tractor pull? Another fave for me.

I have a shirt almost the same as your sons...

OK, what's with the boys in these pics??? I don't see wee toddlin' J, and I sure don't see the little M who turned cartwheels with my girl until the tequila bottle shattered. What's up with these imposterous big boys??????!!!!!!!! Very disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your boys are gorgeous! Sounds like a blast! I wish we had things like that here in Louisiana.
