Friday we had so much fun with Izy at the Pima County Fair. I grew up going to the Kane County Fair (Elgin, Illinois) with my Grandparents Dice. In the Midwest, the Fair is in August, but in Pima County it comes in April. It was a surprisingly damp (slight shower) and cool evening, but our spirits were sunny. Mark took Izy on her first Ferris Wheel ride; she visited her first petting zoo where she met a lovely llama; she learned about the carney games (a quick way to lose tickets), and rode the modernized tilt-a-whirl with another "friend" she met while standing in the ride's ticket line.
We spent almost an hour at the 4H exhibition hall and she admired the art work, quilts and made her own crafted baskets. She gathered vegetables from the "farm", milked a (plastic) cow, and, another first, sat on a tractor.
Four and half hours later, she got into her car seat and was asleep before we hit the freeway! Such is the happiness of a child at her first county fair.
