August is here and flying by quickly already! One item on our summer checklist that we crossed off this weekend was the Clark County Fair. Since teaching in Vancouver, I have heard many students talk about the fair, so it was fun to finally check it out myself. Jennifer, always up for an adventure, joined us first thing Saturday morning and we spent just a couple hours before heading home for nap time.
The main exhibit hall had a rock 'n roll history display, including instruments that you could play with. Nathan was open to strumming the guitar or hitting the drums, but did not want to wear the headphones to hear his musical creations.
Nathan loves playing with tractors at home, as well as spotting them when we are out. So, he was anxious to sit on every model that was for sale at the fair. I know this picture doesn't show it, but he was really excited.
Our first objective in going to the fair was for the animals and we were not disappointed. We saw all sorts of cows, llamas, pigs, chickens, rabbits, goats, etc. And unlike the animals at the zoo, these animals were actually making the noises we practice with Nathan at home. Nathan was able to pet many animals, including a goat, a chicken, rabbit and guinea pig.
Our second objective at the fair was to find some yummy fair food and we succeeded at that as well. Jeff, Nathan and I enjoyed a couple funnel cakes, while Jennifer found herself an elephant ear.
All in all, our time at the fair was short, but definitely sweet. The three of us were worn out and all took naps upon arriving home. We look forward to going back next year!
