Riley and Avery

I really thought that Riley would get a kick out of all the animals at the fair, like she did last year in Maryland, but no such luck. It's as if she just discovered what noses are for. And she was really aware of the little rabbit turds in the rabbit hall and said "let's get out of this building." She did love the petting zoo and the baby pigs (mostly because they were all nursing and the mommy pig had a lot of boobies). I think we set a world record for the least amount of money ever spent at a fair, $19 including admission. More than half of that was spent on funnel cakes, but what is a fair without funnel cakes?Avery really didn't know what was going on at the fair. She did get a kick out of the petting zoo, reaching out for them animals and giggling. She did get to pet a black kitten and she liked the kitten's ears. She also pet a pair of strange sheep that moved around side-by-side, touching as if they were conjoined. Riley rode on one ride, the carousel, and begged to go on more, but they were ridiculously expensive, especially considering that she wanted me to go on the rides with her and I wasn't about to pony-up $6 for each and every ride that she wanted to go on. Mabe next year she will be old enough to ride on her own and she can use the $20 all-you-can-ride bracelet. They also had a fountain for the kids to play in and Riley strpped down to her underwear and went to splash in the puddles. She had fun doing that until Rudi pushed her into one of the water streams and she got her face all wet. That was the end of that. She was pretty tired from skipping her nap, so we decided to call it a day. Of course, she didn't want to go, and kept asking to see the piggies again.
