His First Train Ride

Ok, well maybe it wasn't an Amtrak, but it was a little train at a local town fair and he loved it. Since he can say the word "choo choo" and associate it with a train, this experience made his day. He held on for dear life but you could tell he had a great time.



He also got to see some farm animals up close in the FFA building. Unfortunately this is a picture after we left the barn, when he wanted to go and visit the older kids washing the cattle.



Being the typical mom, I wanted to get a picture at every opportunity. So when I saw this, I just had to do it. Luckily there weren't many of these spots to stop at.



He also got goodies like a balloon, a taste of fried cookie dough and cheese fries. And in the end he ended up being one tired little man.

The Sandwich Fair

So this past weekend we took a little break and drove down to Sandwich for their fair.  Bill and I went last year and had fun walking around.  It's always fun to eat fried fair food and that's exactly what I did.  Bill didn't partake as much as I did.  After the chocolate covered strawberries, vinegar fries, and fried green tomatoes we walked Scott through the FFA petting zoo.  There was a huge line, which I think is crazy because it is just farm animals but maybe it's just because I can go home and pet most of these animals at any time.  He seemed really intrigued by the baby chicks and ducks.  I also had entered a few pictures that I took in the open show, but I didn't win anything.
