The Wayne County Fair is one of those things I have always said I wanted to go to but never made it over to.  It is just a few miles from our house, but always seems to fall on the busiest weekend.  This year it was no different.  What was different is we just made it work.

It wasn’t free.  And it wasn’t cheap.  And we were only there for probably 2 hours. 
But we have some memories, and we have some photos, and we did it together. 

 

We found some homeschooling friends who were showing their rodents.  Ok.  I don’t think they use the word rodents.  But I don’t know what the word really is.  And they are rodents.

The little girls got pony rides. 

I managed a hole-in-one in some corn hole.  So did Johanna.  Do you think anyone got photos of that?

I got a selfie with my big kids.  It’s now the home screen on my phone. 

 

We wandered the mid-way where I had to explain to certain children 912 times why we weren’t going on the rides.  Answer 453 was something like, “You ate in Cinderella’s castle a few weeks ago; you do not need a ride on Krazy Korn Kutter,” or something like that.

We tried to watch this guy carve things out of wood using a chain saw.  He was working on a woodpecker.  He was asked to stop however, by a lady who pointed to the back of a building.  He politely ceased.  Then we saw some tweens by a microphone.  Said tweens droned on made announcement after announcement after announcement until this guy’s audience evaporated.  They might still be droning on.  It was a terrible set up.

We got some balloon animals made. 
Katriel picked an elephant.

Hanny and alligator.

Tab asked for a bear.

Some of the kids ate deep-friend Oreos; others had sno-cones. 

We headed home and to bed.  It was nice to be out together.  Not sure we’d rate it as a must-do, but it definitely isn’t a must-don’t.
