It's FAIR time!

What would summer be without a trip to the good ol' Crow Wing County Fair?

We had a great time. Carter enjoyed seeing the animals. While in the poultry barn, we walked past a turkey, who had its head nestled in its back feathers. I said to Carter "He's sleeping" and Carter said "No mommy, he's dead"! How he even knows what dead means is beyond me, but we laughed it off and moved on.

We got into the sheep and swine barn, and within 5 minutes, Carter started to gag. I thought he was going to toss his cookies right then and there, but he held it together and had no further gagging episodes after that. Perhaps the sweet smell of swine was just a bit much for his little nose. Regardless, we had a wonderful time and Carter thoroughly enjoyed himself. He enjoyed a kid version of a farm. He collected eggs, fed some chickens and even picked some carrots. At the end of the night, we were all ready to head home and "de-germ".

I almost forgot, we did enjoy some cheese curds, french fries and gyros at the fair. We OF course had to make a trip to Dairy Queen before we nested for the night
