Fair Season

Most people I know, don't refer to fall as "fair season." However, in the Smith house, we do. Emma loves animals of all shapes and sizes, so this will be year #2 that I have taken her around Lancaster/Lebanon Counties to enjoy the fairs. Last year, she and I went as far as an hour to go to a fair. Tommy had football, and wouldn't get home until 6:30-7, so we would get in the car and go.

This year, we have already been to the Lycoming County Fair, Lebanon County Fair, and Elizabethtown Fair.

For the past two days, Emma, Jackson, and I have been to the E-town fair. Tommy couldn't go on Monday, but was able to join us today.

Monday at the fair, was the crowning of the fair queen. We didn't get to see the actual crowning, but were able to see the girls come in. At this point we are trying to eat dinner, and the girls riding in on their fancy cars were one thing that made Em stay in one place, while I could feed Jackson.


The E-town fair has a petting zoo for kids that Em loves!



While she was in the petting zoo, she loved the calves, goats, and "sheeps" (as she calls them).





At one point, there was a big, brown sheep in the animal area. Emma looked at me and said, "Mom look, it's a bear." See for yourself.


On the second night at the fair, she enjoyed feeding the "sheeps,"


being the "sheeps" herder,


and the looker of the llamas...


It doesn't matter how far, I will take the kids wherever they want to go to do the things they love!
