2009 Fair

It was a fairly cool day today for July, so we thought it would make the perfect evening to go to the fair here in our town. We had a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves! First we went through all the barns and saw the animals. Checking out the pigs......


I think dairy cows are so cute!


Daddy and Anna checking out the sheep and goats. She's saying, "baaaa!"


Benjamin was really pleased with himself that he pet the goat. He kept telling me afterwards, "that goat was a nice goat, it didn't bite me at all!"


We both thought this guy needed a haircut! :)


Ducks!


Anna really loves ducks right now. She says, "Duck....quack! quack!"


They had a pony ride, which Benjamin loved!


I had to work pretty hard to get pictures of him smiling during the ride, he was so serious!!!


See that scowl, Anna's attitude is really starting to come about and she shows us this face quite often!!! (Usually while shaking her head & telling us no!) Fortunately, she's still pretty sweet too!


We walked over to some fire trucks they had there and one of the firemen was so sweet! He got right up and asked the kids if they wanted to drive the truck and wear a helmet. Benjamin even got to do the horn!

He LOVES firetrucks! Look how happy he is........


The helmet was a little too heavy for Anna, but she still loved getting to drive!


Anna checking out some extremely cute itty bitty baby deer!

They also got to see chickens, roosters, raccoons, birds, our pastor's wife and her alpacas, pet and see bunnies, and they got to meet a police officer and he gave them stickers. We may or may not have also enjoyed some yummy fair food which may or may not have included a very tasty funnel cake! :)

Benjamin is such a big boy! So cool he got to sit in the firetruck AND wear the helmet! wow! that is the ultimate experience for a little boy. These pictures make me wonder what he'll be when he grows up...cowboy or fireman? hmmm...
