Friday Brent and I took Emmett to the fair and met up with his mom and stepdad. All morning long I talked to Emmett about going to the fair and all that we would see. On the way there, I looked back at Emmett and could tell the wheels were turning in his little mind. Finally he asked "Are dere barns at da fair?" Yes, Emmett there are barns at the fair. Pause. "For all da cows?" Yes, for all the cows. "Oh." He makes me smile.
We did the typical fair stuff and Emmett had a great time. We enjoyed looking at the animals, wandering around, eating a bbq beef sandwich (Brent), a hamburger (Emmett and me), and some delicioius beer battered fries. I think Emmett's favorite part were all the tractors and boats on display. He would have spent the whole night climbing all over them if we had let him! Brent got called into work, so he had to leave a little early. And, we actually ended up missing most of the indoor exhibits, which I was kind of disappointed about. Even though they are the same every year, I still like to see them. Once it got dark we wandered around the rides area. Emmett was pretty impressed by all of the bright lights.
Just a glimpse of our fun.
And one from last year, just for comparison!
