Today we took the big boys to the county fair. We had such a good time!

Welcome to the fair!

First we went to visit the horses and the large animals. Jason and I got to pet a horse.

Jason was just about to warm up to the idea of touching the horse himself when it had the nerve to try to lick him and snort. Let's just say that Jason was over the touching the horse idea after that. Lol.

Here are Shawn and daddy. Shawn was trying to keep his eyes on the horse, too. He is a quick one and learned from watching Jason.

Next up was the butterfly enclosure. There was a long line for the exhibit. Shawn wasn't into lines...

I hate lines!

Jason didn't mind them, so away we went...

Using our magic Q-tips to try and pick up the butterfly.

We got it!

That was so cool!

Meanwhile, Shawn and daddy were cruising around the fair. Shawn was much happier while they were in motion. He was not very patient with the sitting around waiting. He wanted to see. all. the. action!

Hey there!

Are they ever coming back from that long line, daddy?

After the butterflies, we strolled around outside. Jason spied with his little eye the most amazing sight (to him). Cars. Surprising us, he asked if he could ride on one. Heck yeah, he could! So we were off to ride the red car...

He totally loved the horn!

After we got off the ride. "Hm..." he was thinking.
"How can I get to go on the cars again?"

Then the boys got to make some really cool happy face shirts. The happy faces are even wearing glasses!

They picked out their colors and put the paint on the shirt as the machine spun the paint around.

Jason picked pink, orange,  green, and blue for his shirt.

Shawn picked blue, red, yellow, and silver for his shirt.

The boys got to eat french fries and mini donuts and chocolate covered pretzels. They loved them all. They also got to have a sip of their mom's Pepsi, which they did not love (thankfully--I don't want to share!).

But then, our night out came to an end. It was getting dark and cold. Plus, we had two very tired little boys on our hands...

Maybe someday we'll ride on the giant slide in the background...

So long fair. We had fun. We can't wait until you come back again next year!

Mommy, can we come back to the fair tomorrow?

P.S. While we were at the fair, Jack was getting some one on one time with grandma. :-)
