A Day at the County Fair

County Fair Fun


Liliana took many rides on the merry-go-round!

        Today we spent the morning exploring Amish country and the afternoon at the local county fair. So it was a day full of quilts, antiques, rides, and animals--and also with tastes of fudge and tomato pie. Liliana's favorite moments were going down the big carpet slide (I think Brian and I took turns taking her down for over an hour), and slurping down her cup of milk given to her by her Great Great Aunt Laura Belle (after a hot but happy couple of hours looking at horses and pigs!).  Liliana actually says that her favorite part was the "neighs" which is what she calls horses, but in actuality, every time she saw a horse she'd say "ride neigh" and couldn't understand why she couldn't ride all the horses!  If there are any regrets, it would be that I didn't take the opportunity to ride the camel.  But the greatest thing about the fair (other than all the family and 4-H memories of showing sheep and exhibiting projects) is that it'll come again next year!
