Take me to the fair

There really is no better way to bid farewell to summer than to spend an afternoon at the fair. We did just that on Monday because it was Family Day at the fair (I love this because it means no alcohol and no smoking that day) and it was GREAT fun.


Marcus liked looking at the old tractors.

But he LOVED riding in the the new ones!!

He kept saying, "Look, I'm the pilot."

Owen doesn't really like the heat. Can you tell? Also, may I just say again how much I LOVE my Baby Bjorns? Because I do. Really.

I am always happy to have baby boys maul me. Always.

Tim is also okay with being mauled. This picture makes me happy.

Marcus got to brush a cow. She was the nicest cow I have ever seen.

This was the first year that we did fair rides. This had the potential of making our fair experience more expensive than it has been in past years, but then this really sweet lady randomly came up to us and gave us 5 tickets, so we only bought one ticket (for a dollar) and Marcus got to ride two rides. Can you imagine how many rides we examined before we made our choice on which 2 to ride? Answer: Several.

The motorcycle ride was Marcus's favorite.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time at the fair...even though it was hot. Marcus looks like a natural on those tractors and with the cow...Tim does that bring back memories on Grandpa's farm? Love the "mauling" pictures!
