Ferris Wheels, Funnel Cake, and Fireworks, Oh My!

Yesterday we had a great time at the county fair. Well, technically it wasn't our county's fair, because our county's fair is much more expensive. But we took a ride over the mountain to another county fair that was much cheaper, and much more fun! I haven't been to a fair in a long time because it's just too expensive. I go to the fair in town for the karaoke contest and just to walk around with my friends but I haven't had the full fair experience in a long time.
When we pulled in to the parking lot, Brady was amazed. "IT'S HUGE!" Were his only words, along with 'COWS! THEY HAVE COWS DAD!" Brady is a huge animal lover. No matter what it is. He would have been satisfied just looking at the animals all night instead of riding rides.

When we first got there, they were having some type of 4-wheeler race. I have never been to one so I don't know the technical term for it, but it was very loud, and the noise got kind of annoying during the evening. But we made it and I even snapped a picture:

After watching, we really needed something to eat. So we went to the least expensive food vendor and got some old-fashioned chicken strip baskets, and hot dogs. It reminded me of my previous days at the baseball field concession stand.

Now of course, we had to go see the animals. Brady was begging us. So we went into all the barns and saw all the animals. Rabbits, pigs, cows, sheep, and horses. You may find this odd, but I really love that fresh barn smell(:

 Brady loves the sheep!

I felt kinda bad for this little horse. His name was Stubby. He looks like a Stubby, don't ya think? But he sat there all huddled up in his little corner the whole time. Poor little Stubby.

Doesn't this look just like Donkey from Shrek?

There were these people sitting in the barn with a little foal. How cute!

After the animals we got on some rides and got some ice cream! The chocolate milkshakes were really good! One of the best I've had. Then we settled in for some fireworks. The night ended with a BANG!
