Going to the fair when I was young always seemed like a glimpse into another world! I wanted our kids to get that "glimpse" this year. But, didn't expect it would include a walk-in petting zoo. Typical to our family's usual reactions was:
Aaron loving the "woofs" in the pens, but crying if we got him too close to anything roaming free.
Elizabeth trying really hard to love the pony...because she loves ponies...but in actuality about having a panic attach every time she was "brushed by" by another goat!
Joshua needing to step out for a while...overcome by the smell.
Nathan needing one last chance to go pet the cute guy on top of the feeding trough. (But probably washing his hands most carefully when it's over.)
Ah, yes, the carefree farm life. :)
The other surprise was the Dog Diving. We'll remember the ones who were amazing...even splashing us in the crowd. And, the poor little guy that was practically shoved off the edge into the water.
