May the force be with you...It's Friday!

 

Mom, Reesing & I went to the Douglas County fair last night and had a great time.  There was not as many people as previous years and it wasn't too hot. Bonus!


 We played some games & won some prizes.

 

Then we jumped in line for the rides. Yippee!
The motorcycles


 Motorcycles in action.



 

 Four wheeling. Unfortunately, sis was too short this year to enjoy most of the rides. So, she had to sit on the sidelines and watch me ride. Next year we'll have a lot of run Reesing, I promise!

There were two rides that Reesing could get on, one of those being the merry-go-round. She was happy about that. 

Well, maybe not.  She didn't last long on her own horse. 

So, I got on my own horse...

 and Mom held Reesing during the merry-go ride.

This was the second ride that Reesing was able to partake in.
 So, we waited in line together, but when it came down to it...she wouldn't get in the bounce house.

 We made a stop at the cow barn to visit the hardworking Neis family. The Neis family has rabbits, cows & pigs in the Douglas County fair this year and have been bringing in lots of good ribbons so far.  Reesing got to get close-up to the Neis cattle and pet them.

  And so did I. Thanks Kelly!
 

We also spent some time at the petting zoo where you could feed the animals.  We started off feeding the pig.

 And then moved on to these cute little fainting goats.  They were doing much fainting, but rather begging for food.
 
 Reesing LOVED feeding the baby goats.
 




Can't you tell by her smile?  She was having a great time.

 Constantly had her hand out wanting more food for the baby goats.

 

We got to pet this camel.  He was very calm and friendly.


Reesing & I loved the petting zoo.  It was our favorite place of the night. 



 We visited the pig barn.  A pig's life is rough.

 

Hi Chickens!


And we visited next Thanksgiving's dinner.
 


It wouldn't be a fair would without jedi glow-in-the-dark night sticks...
 
And other people's tragic x-rated wardrobe choices.
