off to see the fair...

We opened the pasture completely up a few weeks back. Time for the "boys" to get as much grass as possible before the winter weather arrives. I love seeing them out, and it's saving big time on the hay bill. Abbie loves to see them so close to the house, and she often calls out to them.....
Honey (Denise's horse) is all settled in her new home as well. She likes hanging out with the big guys....
It is certainly fair time here in New England, and we were off to see another fair not far from home. Though, as far as "fairs" go... this one is more on the carnival side and less on the animal side. Really not my "type" of fair, but it sure was fun for Abbie.
She's into the rides, and is fearless when it comes to trying them. Because she likes to go.. I find myself trying rides that I haven't done in a long time.... 

Wasnt' too sure about the Ferris wheel.. but it does give you a good view.....












Abbie thought it was great. Now, this fair costs you a bit to get in, but all the rides are included int he price. Which worked out fine for us....









We met up with Kass and Nate... and then Katie and Craig... so Abbie had plenty of folks to do the rides with. As I said, we didn't see much in the animals... mostly did rides with Abbie



 





There were a few "not so traditional" animals as well. I admit, I felt bad for this giraffe, but he certainly was fun to see. I hope his whole life isn't from fair to fair....
And some piggies.....
and then more rides. I think our next fair visit is going to be "more traditional" (animals, quilts, canning...)
But who can resist that smile of joy.....
And of course, a wonderful memory....
