Kent County Youth Fair

The fair grounds are less than mile from our house; so each year we have been able to go and check out the youth fair.  Its so fun to get up close to the animals!  Brie was VERY apprehensive at first, but warmed up quickly and began enjoying it more.  I took the girls by myself during the day once; it went great!  The hardest part was when Brie said she had to pee......so we went into the porta potty, I instructed her to touch NOTHING, I just hovered her over the seat, she peed and I just pulled her pants right back up!  Then we used a lot of hand sanitizer!  I HATE porta potties!

The cows were a big hit, they are HUGE.  I didn't tell Brie that 90% if the animals here are sold for meat.....

I found this amazing!  Puts me to shame!

French fries at the fair.....doesn't get much better....

Brie really liked the horses too, such beautiful creatures!  You can tell the kids that own the horses view them as their best friends.  We saw one of the riders come up to the horse, the horse got super excited and started pushing up against its owner.  The girl gave the horse some pets and a big kiss.  It was very precious!  We saw another horse that had gotten an injury during a ride, the owner was cleaning it off and was bawling her eyes out....that certainly is a special connection these kids have to their animals. I think it is SO cool.

Then one evening when Alec got home from work we headed over to the fair so daddy could see it!  Of course the country boy loved it.

We got to see some pig races, it was hilarious.  The pigs love doing it you can tell, and do it all for animal crackers.  Which I found hilarious.

The cows are my favorite :)
