What a fun fair! The Davis County Fair was just the right size. On August 20th, our little family plus Grandma and Opa spent the morning admiring animals and produce, checking out the booths, and even eating a little fair food.
The petting zoo was awesome! A tortise that kept slowly following Tyler around, a miniature horse, a baby camel, a baby zebra (perhaps the same one we saw in Scipio on the way to CA?), lamas, goats, puppies, a baa baa black sheep, oh man, it was great!
The pony rides were always my favorite part of the fair. Tyler was hesitant until he saw Lydia's excitement. Then they both had a blast (okay, I did too even though I had to walk next to the pony, instead of getting a ride).
Lydia was in heaven with all the animals. She loved the bunny house where she kept exclaiming, "Kitty! Kitty!" Tyler earned a free book by keeping track of all the books he has read (he will go page by page and study the pictures of dozens of his story books). The book was a simple chapter book - his first. We read it to him (a Magic Treehouse book - Mystery on the Moon) and he is hooked! He also earned a ride and chose the boats.
The novelty wore off quickly when the other children kept clanging their boat bells.
All in all it was a fair I would recommend!
