Sept. 2011: Tri-County Fair

Hi Elizabeth and Isabel!

I wanted to show you guys some pictures of the fair we went to the weekend we moved here.




(it's not deserted, this is just what "busy" looks like in the country.)

I don't know if you guys have ever gone to a fair in the city, but fairs are places to go in the summer where there are rides and games and food and lots of people to watch.



And country fairs love farm equipment and giving ribbons to food:






I took this video of some of the people:


(can you spot Kae?)


There we played some games (I won Kae a stuffed elephant and pig by popping balloons with metal darts).




(pig not pictured)


And we ate some food (I killed an elephant ear, here they just call it fried dough. Kae ate some nachos).


(vegetables in the background not for eating)


(she ate all the cheese, but not all the chips)


Here's a pictures of braids and butts:



There were butts everywhere.



But this was probably my favorite one:




Then there was a demolition derby. A demolition derby is where Nascar fans get to live out their dreams of driving drunk and not getting arrested for it:






As it was getting dark we decided we wanted to go on one of the rides. To go on the rides, you had to buy tickets.



We decided to go on the ferris wheel.






We had a really good time. Maybe next year you guys can come visit and go with us!
