Fertile Fair

Welcome to the Annual Polk County Fair; Every parents nightmare, every child's dream! There are so many things about the fair that I hate; all since having children...

1. The "Carnies"-They scare me!
2. It is a Germ fest
3. The most unhealthy foods ever
4. Rides that make you Scream-because they look like they are going to fall apart as they have your children in them.
5. The gross bathrooms
6. The lack of clothing that the girls wear to these events-hoping to get a ride of their own (don't mean to sound judgemental here, but....)
7. The outrageous prices on everything
8. The whining and crying after the day is over, because we are all exhausted.

But there are a few really good things about the fair too...

1. The Smiles
2. The Excitement

3. The Thrills

4. The Friends
5. The Animals

We were going through the barns with all the cows when I saw something hanging out a cows rear hole and I was like "EWWW! What the heck is that!?" and the girl working there said that 30 minutes before the cow gave birth to the calve that was laying right beside her. That was cool, I only sorta wish I had seen the whole thing.

6. The Horse Events

I love this picture of Reise and Emma. These two girls loved watching the horses perform; you could see that they were thinking "I can't wait to do that some day."

7. The Memories

We were sitting at a picnic table having a little treat when Will said " I know who I am going to marry!" Danell and I asked him "Who?" "Emma!" he said. Emma, who was sitting right there said "I am going to have to think about that, Will." Danell told her that that was a wise answer; I agreed!
