Fair time

So I am behind on some posting but that's okay! We took the kids to the fair the other week and we had a BLAST!! It's the longest time we've spent at the fair with kids.Whew! It was way better than I thought it would be!! We got to pet mules and donkeys first....
Sawyer wanted to touch the eyes... glad he didn't!
Saw a gazillion pigs :) peew! I sure wouldn't want to be that pig! It just hurt watching these 12 piglets attack the momma nips..OUCH.. The kids probably could have sat here all day and watched. They thought it was so cute :)
Sawyer kept wanting to pet the piggies. He laughed at all the squealing and oinking going on.
Keeley loves horses! She was thrilled to find enough hay to feed them. She also got to see some cowgirls with colorful flags, outfits and dazzling horses ride around performing routines and she is dying to be a cowgirl when she gets big enough! Brad and I already know that 4H is in her future!
Jarrin wanted this picture :) He wouldn't touch them until this year. They scared him. Glad to see he got over that one :)
Sawyer thought the reptiles were cool, especially the snakes.....as long as he doesn't think he can get one when he's older...... that we'll be just fine :)
We then went to enjoy some food before the rides. Yummy. That's when we walked by some clowns making balloon animals and toys. Jarrin got a sword and Keeley a flower. Jarrin, while eating, examined his balloon sword and said " I didn't know that clowns could be so clever" We laughed so hard! We weren't expecting to hear "clever" out of his mouth anytime soon :)

Oh and the rides!! The jeeps......
the carousels....
the motorcycles...................
and the kiddie roller coaster!! I love the look she gives me! She will be Brad's partner for the big and wild ones when she's tall enough!!
Jarrin even liked this one!

How funny is this? It is a toilet seat hookup for trailer hitches!! How funny!
and yes...Sawyer fell on his face and scrapped and bruised it up again!! That boy!!
It was so much fun! We also got to see some kids go Mutton Bustin'. That is so funny!! You have to look it up! The kids get all padded up and they grab on to the sheep and they open the gate and the kids hold on for as long as possible. Oh good times!! Needless to say, the kids crashed HARD and slept really really well that night!!
