Fair Frenzy

This summer we went to three county fairs in 4 weeks! That was approaching the number of fairs REO Speedwagon probably went to this year. That's Henry piloting his first helicopter at the Loudon County Fair.

Sliding into home at the Arlington County Fair.

Fairs are a great diversion for big kids (like us) and little kids (like we've got). Every fair had animals and arts and crafts. At the Montgomery County Fair there was a 500-pound wheel of cheese. So cheesy!
"Outta' the way, ma'am. I'm en route to an emergency."
CHIPS circa 2007
This isn't the first time Henry has climbed a wall. But it's the first time he climbed one that was MEANT to be climbed.
Me and Loretta were there too. Enjoying the funnel cakes and the carnies. Hopefully Tricia will post her photos from the fair we went to together. There was a teen Christian play there that was SO BAD and earnest that Trish was transfixed by it. Like a car accident you can't help but gawk at. I had to physically pull her away.

And just in case you weren't entirely clear on how the fire-truck ride operates...
