The North Florida Fair

Saturday night, George and I took the kids to the fair. We go every year, and even though we don't ride a lot of the rides, the real joys of the fair are the food and the animals. We always try to visit the ring where the youngsters show the animals they've raised for 4H or as part of their family's farm.

We love seeing the goats,

the cows,

the sheep,

the hogs,

the chickens (including newborn baby chicks)

and finally we always visit the petting zoo.

After washing our hands very well, we went around the booths for tacos, corn dogs, gator tail

funnel cakes, strawberry shakes, kettle corn, and the traditional cotton candy and caramel apple.

When it got dark, we did ride a few rides, but mostly we enjoyed the booths and the kids had a great time at the missionary booth playing with Bible games and puzzles.

Megan stated that she will be a terrible driver after her experience here. We also saw the Wide World of Animals show with unique animals that you don't see every day.

We had a blast, and the kids ended the night by getting the largest Reeses PB cup brownie I've ever seen.

They smiled the whole way home.
