2010 Clay County Fair Fun!
It's that time of year again for the Clay County Fair! The boys couldn't wait to go this year! Our first stop was the Midway for some rides...Jeff and I decided to get that part over with right away before it got busy. It was great because it was right when they opened and the boys didn't have to wait to get on any rides. Due to the price of tickets, each boy only got to ride 3 rides, which worked out perfectly! Next it was on to the tractors. I swear we spent 2 hours (not joking) in the tractor section. Both boys would climb a tractor, pretend to drive it, climb back down, run to the next one, and do it all over again...exhausting...for Jeff and I as well as the boys. We then ate lunch at the Cattlemen's building (YUM...ribeye sandwiches for Jeff and I and cheeseburgers for the boys)! After that we went to the train depot to see all the model trains. The boys could have stayed there all day! They loved looking at all the little villages within the train depot building. Next was all the animal barns. Both boys enjoyed petting a horse and a baby calf on our way through the barns, and they especially found the pigs to be quite funny! After buying each boy a small toy tractor as their "fair gift," it was pretty much melt-down time for both of them, so Jeff and I did not get to look in any of the buildings at the hundreds of booths. Oh well, we usually just get frustrated by the slow moving crowd and don't buy anything anyhow, so on home we went. Both boys were sleeping before we even got out of the parking lot, so the ride home was nice and quiet! We hope to make it back for one more visit before the fair is over...we didn't get to sample any of the yummy fair food that we always look forward to, not matter how much we don't need it! :)
