Itasca County Fair
















Sara Pender and I took the kids to the fair a few
weeks ago and it was an adventure...a HOT adventure!
We started with the animal barn which was okay
but the kids could have seen the animals better
if we had taken them out of the stroller but it
was way too hot and crowded to take them
in and out so we pretty much cruised right through. There
was a charming donkey named "Spice" that luckily
started braying like mad after we had passed him...I
think it would have really freaked out Isla and Paul!
The ducks were the highlight for both kids, probably
because they were at a level they could both see.
Then Sara and I debated on going on the merry go round.
It seemed to be going pretty fast and we weren't sure if
they would like it. But we gave it a try and it went great!
Paul didn't want to get off but I didn't want to pay 3 dollars
per time. We will definitely hit "armband" day next
year so we can try more rides...he
had his eyes on the little boats and twirling
strawberries!
Sara and I were pretty much done after an hour but I
think next year will be a different story once the kids'
really grasp the concept of rides and
oh yeah, the huge balloons and cheesy toys!
