County fair time!

This week is the county fair here in Delaware Co. Its a big deal here and the kids even get a day off school to go! I don't remember having fairs like this back in Mississippi. I guess agriculture is alot bigger up here so the county fairs are pretty big. They also have horse races where they actually bet money on each race. On Thursday the big race, The Brown Jug is held. Its crazy on that day I have heard. Of course admission on Thursday is $20 and every other day is $5 so we chose today.

We met up with Mattie and Tressa and checked out a couple of the animals.

Then we spent alittle time in the sandbox!





Then we played a game where we were trying to win a fish!
And low and behold we won a fish!!!


Then we headed over to where they keep the "special" horses. The one's that compete in the brown jug. It's crazy, they have these super nice stalls just for these horses!


We also got to take in one of the pre-jug races!


Finally it was time for a few rides!





We made a quick stop at the pet store to get food for our little friend. Somehow we ended up leaving with two other little friends! So now we have three more family members! Things come in three around our house, three family members, three dogs and now three fish! Guess we better think up some names!
