County Fair


One of my favorite things to do every summer is go to the county fair. I love walking through the smelly barns, seeing the beautiful quilts, checking out the photographs, etc. The first Monday the fair opens is usually family day so kids get in free. Since Monday is Erik's day off it always seems to be a perfect time to go. This year was my favorite visit yet. We decided to forgo the rides and amusements and park closer to the barns and exhibits. I'm so glad we did! The kids loved the Old MacDonald's Barn, where they saw lots of baby animals. Each stall they came to filled them with excitement. It was fun running into lots of CLC families. We enjoyed soft pretzels with cheese for lunch and yummy ice cream for dessert.
Karis was thrilled to ride a pony. Jotham later told us that he rode the pony, when we asked him if Karis did he said, "No." We decided he was telling us what he wanted to happen but was too scared to let happen.

Cia hanging out in the stroller. She was very pleasant the entire time.

I just love Mercia's picture. She is so precious, actually, all your kiddos are precious! We love hanging out with them!
