Fair & Field Days #3

This is the third year in a row we've gotten to go to our County Fair & Field Days. The kids love going every year! It was super hot the day we went, so it was a little rough for Jacob, but we still got in a lot of fun & educational experiences, and we even went back again on Friday.

We saw alpacas:

We saw miniature horses:

We saw baby chickens hatching. This man was even nice enough to teach us about them.

 This was by far Jacob's favorite thing we did: He loved playing in the corn box. He would lay almost face down in the corn, push his hands all around & cover his whole body in it. He loves sensory things & surprisingly didn't put much in his mouth.

And if Jacob didn't get enough corn, he stole my corn on the cob at the all-local Vermont foods dinner we went to.

 We saw a magic show.

 We bounced in a bounce house. Maybe Abi's favorite part!

Of course we visited the Maple Shack. I had a maple milkshake. The kids had slushies.

We got balloon animals from creepy clowns. Which almost immediately popped, causing much distress.

We saw a fife & drum corp from the Revolutionary period. The kids were fascinated by their music.

And we saw Daddy sing in the County Gospel Choir.

The fair is always a summer staple, and its ending means summer is almost over, too!
