Erie County Fair!

America's Fair!
Last Saturday we spent the day at the fair.

It was huge, lots of things to see, do, and eat:

Jane and Bruce's favorite thing was the "Footsie Wootsie"'s they had all over the fair.
For 25 cents you get a little foot massage.

Tractors and more tractors greeted us as we entered.

We saw a Log Show. It was pretty cool.

Kate pretty much slept the entire day in the Bjorn. yea!

We saw the "Bills Buffalo" and gave him a High-Five.



Do


Jane went on this Kangaroo bouncy ride and had lots of fun going up, but going down scared her so she cried the whole rest of the ride.

We got to feed animals at the petting zoo.
*They had lots of 4H competitions going on so we saw lots of horses, cows, pigs, and chickens.*
(Plus there was a sting-ray exhibit, birds of prey exhibit, and rare white camels exhibit.)

The kids "mined for gold," those carnies!

Eat
We saw, but unfortunately forgot to try the deep fried Twinkies.

Jane really wanted cotton candy, ate a bit and said she didn't like it "because it has some sugar."

* We also ate very expensive hot dogs, ice cream, and LOTS of water. *

Wow looks like a lot of fun! Too bad you didn't try the deep fried oreos though. But I don't blame you. I'm sure they would help Kate fatten up pretty quick though! I loved your pictures and Josh did too!

Looks like fun! And a suggestion for you... you need to create a side-blog and title it "Jane-ism's". That girl cracks me up!
