Turner County Fair...








Benjamin and Ada got to come to the Turner County Fair for 3 days this year. They had a great time! Their favorite place by far is Old MacDonald's Farm where they get to see different animals like camels, miniature donkeys, baby chicks, baby pigs, goats, a water buffalo, eggs hatching, puppies, kittens, etc. Ada's favorite animal was the miniature donkeys. She would stay with them for hours if we let her! She had to say good bye to them every day. She was constantly touching them, hugging them, and then she even got into kissing them! What happened to my timid little girl who only liked looking at the animals and not touching them? Both the kids liked checking out all the different sites of the fair. Benjamin was intrigued by all the big farm equipment and had a great time checking it out. I have always said that he is all boy and one afternoon while Ada and I went to see the animals, Dave and Benjamin checked out the sandbox over by the 4-H Show Ring. As I am told, Benjamin proceeded to dig a big hole in the sandbox leaving Dave to wonder what he was going to do with that hole and then all of a sudden Benjamin sat down and proceeded to bury himself in the sand! He was so proud of himself that he had Dave call Ada and I over to see the "surprise". This fair is very family friendly and we always have a good time--okay, okay I am a little biased as I work in Turner County and have to be at the fair whether or not I want to but we really do have a good time. I look forward to eating at the Pork Producers Booth every year--yummy! I have other favorites but there is something about those pork loin sandwiches that have me hooked!!
