County Fair

Last Friday we went to the county fair. The fairgrounds are practically in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard. They rode with us and we met up with Uncle Alvin, Aunt Shannon and Ray. Dinner was an assortment of traditional fair food. Gotta love the fair! After dinner, we checked out the animal barns. Jess wasn't too thrilled. These things make noise and move unexpectedly. She was practically in tears just trying to get a picture of her with the animal that another Jessica Jones showed. So we have a picture of her name and a picture of the animal. Brandon was more receptive to petting, but would draw the line at petting bunnies with red eyes. And they really like the just hatched/hatching chicks. None of this compared though to getting to go ride the rides. Jess, surprisingly, likes the more adventurous rides. But she was willing to go on the "medium" rides as they were less tickets. Stretching a buck, right? The crazy wild boy prefers to keep his feet on stable ground. With the last of their tickets, Brandon rode the ferris wheel with daddy (I nixed the idea of J & B going by themselves) and Jess went with Uncle Alvin on the Gravitron (??... same as the Revolution at Holiday World). Daddy was able to get some really cool shots from up in the ferris wheel. And ALMOST got a shot of Jess and Uncle Alvin on their ride. Wouldn't that have been cool? The end of our tickets, it was late, so it was time to go. And then Brandon fell in the mud. Completely muddy all down one side. Other than his obvious embarrassment, he was concerned about whether his new Holiday World shirt was ruined. "Daddy can you drive to Holiday World tomorrow and get me a new one?" ...ummm that is what the washing machine is for son. And yes, it came clean. But his shoes are another story.
