Finally the Fair!

It was finally our turn to go to the fair. It seems as though everyone has gone except for us. I guess Virginia is just a little bit late. This was our third year going and the kids loved it. This year Mike's business had a booth there so he spent more time on the fair grounds then he wanted to and he isn't done yet. On Monday we took the kids and some friends and had a great time. We saw the duck races, where Calvin got picked to race one of the ducks, the pig races, the horses doing something or other, the aereolist (whom Anna Elise LOVED), the animals, the tractors, and Anna Elise and Calvin got to go on one ride each. We had lunch at the fair and also got a bag of cotton candy for the kids to devour! They loved it. We were glad to have help with the kids - since I just concentrated on walking from one event to the next - I couldn't push the stroller or carry anyone. Below are some pictures of the duck race, trying out a tractor, and the kids on their first fair rides!
