This year marks Jenny's third trip to the Brown County Fair and though it was incredibly cold and supremely windy, Jenny and her parents had a wonderful time.
By herself, Jenny ate a corn dog - her first official fair corndog ever. Jenny saw her first tractor pull and though she seemed a little overloaded in the beginning, Jenny enjoyed watching the loud tractors through two tractor classes. Our favorite was the sparkly green one whose paint job cost as much as the tractor itself. Can't quite recall the name, but I'm sure it was as spectacular as some of the others. Grandpa's favorite was called, the Plumber's Nightmare - it had three helicopter engines on it.
Jenny saw real animals - some for the first time outside of her picture books. Pigs, geese, rabbits, turkeys, guinea pigs, sheep, horses, cows, baby chicks and more. We learned so much about farm animals and had a great time in the process.
Additionally, Jenny had her first funnel cake, her first taste of a gyro, her first caramel apple, and her first fair fudge. We were in line to do the ferris wheel, but Jenny said she didn't want to go - there were boys on it :)~. We attempted the Super Trucks instead, but Jenny didn't want to share the ride with the other little girls the carny was putting into the truck with her. So we rode the merry-go-round instead. Jenny had fun. On our return visit with cousin Kraig (plus his parents) and Grandparents K, Jenny rode the ponies around. That was her favorite part of the whole fair.
Both nights, Jenny fell asleep on her way home, dreaming of next year's fair and perhaps hoping for a bit warmer weather. Maybe that was just me. I fell asleep on the way home too.
I'll post pictures to the Facebook account as soon as I get ahead of some of this silly grading stuff.
