County Fair time

Today we made our third trip to the Lycoming County Fair. Last year we spent three hours there due to the fact it was 95 degrees out. One of the highlights last year was riding a camel. Our first trip was in 2011; we didn't go in 2012 due to my bed rest. This year we didn't ride any camels (didn't run across them, if they were there), but we were at the fair for four hours this time. Oliver could have gotten in for free, but there were enough rides that he could ride that it was worth buying him a $4 hand stamp (the rest of our hand stamps were $6 each). The kids would have gladly stayed longer, but we needed to leave to get them to their 6:30 rehearsal for the musical, especially considering they missed the last three rehearsals! It was my turn to bring the snack for the musical, and my oatmeal raisin cookies must have been a hit because they scarfed down more than six dozen of them! This year we rode rides for two hours, looked at a few animals, ate dinner while watching the dog show "Mutts gone Nuts," saw a few more animals, and then rode rides for about 45 minutes before calling it quits for the day. The temperature was about 79 degrees out with very low humidity today. Perfect!
