"One Great County, One Great Fair"

Last week we spent an evening at the Lenawee County Fair. For us that means, eating fair french fries, drinking yummy lemonade and walking around to see all of the animals. No rides or games for us (the games might be negotiable as Megan gets a little older) Our first stop was the Dairy Barn. Megan was all excited to see moo moo cows up close. But once she realized how big they are, she stopped walking and we had to pick her up. We moved over to the sheep and she was a little more relaxed with the smaller animals.

Can you see the fear in her body language? This moo moo cow's owner knew Megan's Grandpa so Megan was able to pet him. She made one very quick touch of the cows back and she was done. Yet still said "Bye moo moo cow" as we were leaving the barn.

Megan was a little fearful of the pigs as well. She liked oinking at them but didn't want to touch them, even after she had permission from a pig owner.

Hey this animal is smaller then Megan so she actually touched him.

I think she would have touched the goat if she wasn't starring at the person walking the goat.

Last stop, the ducks, geese and chickens. Megan wanted to get in the pen with all of the birdies. Somehow I have a feeling that if she would have been able to get in there with them, she would have been scared to death when they all started moving.

We ran into some friends of ours and their sons had balloons. Noah, didn't want his balloon so he gave it to Megan. She was so happy to carry that balloon around the fair. She hugged it and wanted to make sure it was close by at all times. The next morning she found it and got excited all over again. Then she bit it and it lost of the air inside. "Bye bye balloon" was muttered as she threw it away.

So all in all it was a great evening at the fair. Un-healthy food was consumed and Megan got to see and understand how big horses and moo moo cows are. It will be interesting to see what she says the next time we drive by horses or moo moo cows.
