Friday night we surprised the kids by taking them to the fair. They had such a good time. The first thing they did was a pretend day in the life of a farmer. They got to plant seeds, harvest corn, soy beans, potatoes, tomatoes, & peppers, pick apples, milk the cow, drive the tractor, feed the chickens, gather eggs, sell their goods at the farmers market, and purchase something in the store with their earnings. We skipped the petting zoo at the end, but Cole did ride on the pony. We all rode the carousel & Cole had his first "roller coaster" experience. What is a fair without funnel cake & cotton candy?? - so we all shared those treats too!

Poor Cole kept having to pull up his shorts. Bless his skinny little booty!
"Feeding" the chickens
"Driving" the John Deere
"Planting" the seeds
Just for fun!
Cole was really excited to ride on the pony. Savannah wanted no part of it - so she helped me take pictures & video. Of course, once the ponies started moving, all she wanted was to be on one with Bubba.
Cole's favorite part of the evening was riding the caterpillar roller coaster. I didn't really care for the way that it jerked him around, but he loved it. The big boy who sat next to him helped buckle him up. Cole thought that was really cool.
"Is this candy?" - Cole loved it! Savannah took two bites, said "Yummy", and then wanted no more cotton candy. Little miss priss wanted CLEAN hands!
Too tired to stand up, but not ready to go home!

Oh, that looks like so much fun!! I am glad they loved it.
Camden held his corn in fron of the fake chicken's mouth for about 5 seconds before I said, "Um, Camden, just put it in the tray. It's a pretend chicken." He was seriously waiting for the stuffed bird to take it from him!
