Washington County Fair

Let Freedom Ring was the theme of the country fair this year.  Everything was decorated red white & blue.  We almost didn't go due to the heat the thermometer readings at 5:00 was 112 degrees.  I was content to sit home in the cool ac.  The kids begged and pleaded to go.

First stop was the Stingray Exhibit.  There were much smaller than the ones we saw at the aquarium.

 Horseshoe Crabs
WOW they are cool.
 Who can pass up looking a an army tank.  Not the boys.
 Ryder with the big tractors just like Grandpa Waters used to drive.
 Petting zoo....trying to pet the llama.
 Horses...To close for comfort.
 Cows...Where does hamburgers come from?
 Babies...Little baby chicks were the best.  Each one got to hold one much to the mother hen who got out of the coop and went looking for here babies.
Abe Lincoln with many faces.  They also had election booths to try the voting machines out.  Each child wanted a turn to press a button.

It was soon time to go home.  Everyone was hot and tired.  Too bad they didn't fall asleep on the way home.  Time for bed anyway.
