Fun at the Fair

The past weekend was our annual Nevada County Fair and Lewis and I love to take all the grandkids. We enjoyed it all.. the junk food, the animals (some cute new piglets) and lots of rides. We saw a juggler who even juggled fire sticks.. and was quite a hit with the kids. Andrew, Remington and Wyatt loved riding all the rides, but we forced them to endure a trip to see all the farm critters.. you could tell they missed their parents who arrived later in the evening. Aiden, Ashley, Ethan and Ava enjoyed the rides and being such a beautiful child.. people would walk up to Ava and give her things.. a ball, a fuzzy rose and even a couple ride coupons. We walked till our legs ached and had to hose off our feet when we got home from all the dirt. I think the part Papa and I love the most is seeing the smiles and laughter in our grandkids.. and watching our kids enjoy a fun day with their little ones. The only disappointment was that there was no petting zoo, baby pig races or exotic critters like they've had in the past. I hope next year will bring those events back. AND... in last night's paper... sadly someone stole three of the black and white piglets and some baby bunnies. According to the paper they are all too young to survive without their moms. It always amazes me at how horrible some people can be.
