fair time!

It's that time of year again--Vernon County Fair time!!
It's gone from fun when I was a kid, not so fun when it's just me and the Mr., to fun again now that we have kids. There is always a display of farm equipment, and that's where we spent most of our time. See for yourself...

Here, Jack poses with his groovy shades he snagged at the fish hatchery booth.

Alex riding the Bou Matic cow. Super fun!

The first night we went out, Jack wanted to go on the big slide that you sit on a burlap sack and go down. Ok, fine. We got the tickets and Chad took him down once and he had a blast. Then the meltdown began. He threw a huge fit because we wouldn't let him go again so we went home.

Yesterday went a lot better because he knew if he was a shit, we were goin' home! It's pretty awesome when you follow through on something and it works. We ended up staying for a long time and got to see a lot of the tractor pull that night. The boys didn't get to bed until 11pm. All in all we had a very good time. We'll see if I have it in me to take them myself this weekend.
