Day Two at Fair

The second day at fair, Brooke didn't have to show till 5PM so we had the whole day to visit the fair. There was no way we could see everything but we tried. Ashlyn was fascinated with the milking parlor. Every couple hours they would bring cows in to milk them with machines. It is amazing how fast they can milk a cow. It only takes about 5 minutes to fill half of the containers hanging on the fence with milk.

(I have to say, Ashlyn was so happy about being at that fair. When we pulled off the interstate and she seen how big that fair was she was full of excitement. She said, "I'm so happy that my eyes are watering"! She had tears of joy over the fair.)

It wasn't bracelet day so the kids couldn't ride everything. There is over 100 rides there so it would have been a fortune. They went through $30 in tickets each in about 30 minutes!


After the rides we checked out cracker country. It has an old post office, church, school house and general store from the late 1800 to early 1900. They were really cool. I forgot to take pictures there! We then found a really neat petting zoo that had a giraffe! he was neat!

The kids thought the alpacas were cute. One had some really crazy teeth!!!



We then headed over to see the lawn mower races. That was very interesting! it was really muddy because we had severe rain there on Friday for hours. They were getting stuck alot.

So that was pretty much the end of our day before Brooke had to get ready for her Show at 5:00. That will be the next post.
