On Sunday we went out in the afternoon to the County Fair. It was a very nice day, warm but not too hot with bright sunshine. Oddly, the fair was more crowded than normal.
Alice did a couple of the kiddy rides. Corwin and Charles did the Ferris Wheel, the whirling swings, and bumper cars. Mom persuaded Corwin to go on the Octopus Twister again. I gave Corwin some money to waste on the midway games. He liked the BB machine gun, although he didn’t manage to clear all the target (he got fairy close). He won a prize at one of the games, a small stuffed penguin, which Charles and Alice immediately started fighting over.
The kids had some cotton candy (truly what they like best about the fair). We also got them lemon shake ups, one each because it would be wrong to share.
We went off to look at the kid’s third cousin’s pig but they had only numbers, not names, so we couldn’t tell which was theirs. It was fun and the kids had a good time although Corwin was going on “can’t we leave yet?” around the time Mom decided to head on home.
