Fair & Parade

All this week was our local county fair. We went last weekend to see if any animals were there yet and found two mama goats and three baby goats. Peanut loved them! We ended up going back multiple times during the week to feed them the weeds and grass just outside their reach.

One day I saw on the schedule "Farm Hand Olympics'. Obviously we had to go! It turned out to be an activity for youth/teenagers. They were put on teams and had to compete in one of the following activities: Cow Patty Throwing, Steer Dummy Roping, Seed Spitting (both distance and accuracy), and Holey Water Bucket Water Transfer.
 

Peanut met and played with a little girl there...under the bleachers! wink wink

A different night we went to the goat show...where Peanut met another little girl.

 

----Random insert----

He played Frown/Happy Face with Mama

He met Smokey the Bear. 

On Friday night we went to the Tractor Pull. If you have no idea what that is, let me explain. They have tractors in different classes pull this big weight machine. They have unmodified tractors and multiple stages of modified tractors.

Peanut also met, and played with, a little girl here.

Saturday morning Ox had to get going early since he was in the 16th Celebration Land Run Parade. Peanut and I went to the Lil' Settlers Land Run. Peanut competed in the 1 and under race and......WON! Yep my little 'Nut got first place. So cute! In fact (although I don't have a picture) his cousin Madi won in the 3 year old class.

Then we took the kids to see the DitchWitch Ox would be driving in the parade.

We thought the parade started at 10 but it actually started at 10:30 so there was plenty of time for Grammie-cuddling. Then the parade started and there were a lot of fun things to see and plenty of candy to gather (who decided it was a good idea to teach kids that if they wave at a car and run toward it, someone will throw them candy?). Luckily Aunts Wendy and Hillary were there so my parental responsibilities were pretty minimal. ;)

Yea our Ox drove by in the BIG DitchWitch. Peanut wanted to go with him but couldn't. :(

 

Then we wandered around, ate fair food and hung out with our friends, the Bagleys. Wendy and Hillary tried the flippy, spinny thing. Looked like fun!

 

Super fun week!
