County Fair

I'm now helping to plan ourchurch's playgroup. For this activity, we went to our County Fair. It was raining lightly which helped keep things cool...and it really didn't matter too much since most everything we were looking at was inside. We saw part of the dairy cow show and lots of animals.

Gaia, Kate & William...Ava's aunt and cousins.

Here, Ava & her friend Payton are looking at the chickens.


Our frirend debbi held Ava up to get a better view. It was neat to see that several of the chickens had laid eggs.
When Ava saw the camel in the petting zoo they had, she was SO excited. "Mommy, a CAMEL! Look, A CAMEL!...Yummum, (how she says cousin William's name)A CAMEL!" Later, when telling Daddy about the camel, she said, "I saw a CAMEL! - like ALADDIN!" It's amazing the connections kids make!
Ava and her friend Mary at the petting zoo. We spent the perfect amount of time there and even got to pet a rabbit and chicken because we knew the girls showing them. (I think it sounds funny to say you got to pet a chicken...:)

Sorry we didn't make it. It looks like so much fun! We loved the last outing at the park and I still need to post some pics about it. You are doing a great job with the playgroup!
