County Fair

Last weekend was the Washington County Fair, so on Sunday morning we headed out to see what it was all about. We learned the county has just cut off funding for 4H, so it turns out this may be the very last county fair... good thing we went when we could.

We visited the animal barns, watched a horse show, puzzled over an ATV-pull (I don't get it), and lucky for Zach - found an empty bounce-house (he won't go in them if there are other kids). But it didn't take long for Zach to figure out the best part of these fairs - the food! He had his first pronto-pup, which, if you're not familiar, is a corn-dog that has a flour-based batter instead of corn-based. He thought that was ok, and then proceeded to eat half of my corn on the cob and at least his share of our chocolate malt. When we asked him later what his favorite thing at the fair was, he went with the ice cream. Go figure.

Can you find Zach in the cow picture?!?!?

Sunday afternoon we met some friends at a waterpark not to far from us, to get us all in the right mindset for our trip to the Dells later this month, as well as to see how the kids would do. Unfortunately, the beautiful day turned a bit cloudy and the wind picked up, right as we got to the park. In the water, we were fine. But the moment you got out - brrrr! Zach would absolutely not get out of the water, despite the fact that he was shaking and his lips were literally turning blue. I guess that means he'll enjoy the water parks at the Dells!
