More of the fair

 

So...the fair continued...

Monday night was "all rides = 1 ticket", so the boys used up the tickets given to them by the Smiths (for walking the goats).  They had a blast.

Ready on the scrambler...Dad and Jake, Mom and Joe

   A friend, Landon, introduced the boys to the fun house...which kept us entertained and kept the boys laughing hysterically.  (watch the two videos below for some laughs)

Landon and Jake also got to ride bumper cars together!

 Jake was proud of his work that was displayed. He did a very thorough job in explaining his work to the judges (although all Mini 4-H participants get ribbons for their work at this level).  And in the process, Jake now better spells his last name (don't have to write it much with homeschooling). :)

   And, of course, we had fun eating fair food, watching model rockets being launched, seeing the parade (learning to fetch candy), checking out the tractors and equipment, watching the tractor pull, and seeing friends show pigs, sheep, and horses! It was a fun year at the fair...and we learned a lot in the process.
