Fair Days

It seems odd to me that county fairs are taking place during the Dog Days of Summer. I always equate the fair with fall and cooler weather. We always had a day off of school when I was a kid to attend the state fair, and the State Fair of Texas is always the setting for the Texas-OU showdown.

We missed the Albemarle County Fair a couple of weeks ago so instead decided to head over to Greene County for their fair on Saturday. JB had a blast.
She took to the petting zoo pretty quickly where she followed around and got to love on sheep, goats, pigs, a calf and a donkey.


We considered letting her get her face painted but didn't think she'd like someone that close to her, so we had a butterfly painted on her hand.
She enjoyed sitting on the grass with Dad listening to music and watching the cloggers. She even did her best clogging imitation, which entertained the folks sitting around us.
And to round out the experience, JB rode the merry-go-round with Mom and a worm ride with Dad.
And to repay us for all of the fun she had, JB slept until nearly 8 a.m. Sunday.
