It was a beautiful Labor Day weekend for the County Fair 2008. We decided Saturday would be our "day at the fair." We walked from end to end. All the barns. All the exhibits. A lot of the freebies. Too much of the food. Everybody has their favorite part. Amelia loves the cows. Calla loves the horses and the rides. I like the exhibits and the smiles. Cory likes the food. Ok. We all like the food.
This year, we spent a great deal of time at the horse stalls. Calla couldn't get enough. We met a young gal from the school who was showing her horse. She let Calla pet it, feed it a peppermint or two, and hold its bridle. We also watch the jumps and then toured the other barn as well. Hours of time with the horses. She is so anxious to join 4H so she can ride, too. Luckily, kids have no sense of time. She has to be seven before she can join. That's a lifetime in kid years.
