county fair

There's nothing quite like the county fair. Even though we live in Wichita, which is a metropolitan big city (for Kansas), which is in Sedgwick County, the fair has never felt like a big city experience. I don't know if few Wichitans attend or it's just that I grew up always going to the fair and I, being from a small town, never really thought of it as including a whole county of people...who knows?...it was fun nonetheless and the kids had a blast. I hope this is something my children will want to do every year just like I did. I have missed VERY few county fairs...I believe 2 to be exact. My summer isn't complete if we don't catch a little 'Midway' action:-)

First, we stopped by the 4-H Building to check out the poultry and rabbits....

Can't go to the fair without chowing down on a 'Pronto Pup'...

This boy's eyes go straight to my heart....

Then we made a brief trip to the petting zoo.

I don't care who you are....this animal is gorgeous....

This little guy was INFATUATED with Porter's toes....

TIME FOR RIDES....

Sturgis, here we come!!!....

Sawyer was HILARIOUS!!! Almost every ride she got on...the same expression....:-)

Tucker's was pretty much the same on every ride too....the need for speed....

Ahhhh...nothing better than a summer evening at the fair

but ....one complaint....this was the first year I walked out of there with NO cotton candy!!!! I'm a little disappointed in myself. Oh well, there's always next year:-)
