The County Fair

We've tried these last several years to make it to the county fair with some good friends of ours who have little kids the same age as ours. At the last minute we squeaked it in this year on one of those fabulous 90 degree days:)

An extra treat this year was the 'circus' show....with elephants and camels and ponies and doggies. It was probably a half an hour show and the kids really seemed to get into it especially because it started off with eating ice cream!

Before the circus though, a fair wouldn't be a fair without the traveling rides??? Here are a few pics of the kids with their sweet friends racing away in their cars. At the end of the night I asked Ava what was one of her favorite things and she said riding the cars. She almost backed out at the last minute getting on, I'm so glad she overcame the fear.

Free prizes are always a fun part of the fair, right? Coop got a ball and can you tell what Ava won? In case you can't tell what is all over her arms and legs...it's a red heart stamp. I'm very surprised this was not her favorite thing of the night because she thoroughly enjoyed using it and sharing it with the rest of us there:)
