August 2008 Catch Up
To kick off this year's county fair adventures, Jayni, Mason, and I headed to Moses Lake to spend time with my Mom and to watch my little sister, Kathryn clog. I also HAD to have a Grant County Fair Spaceburger! I hadn't had one for about 4 or 5 years and I was desperate this year to get one.
Well, it so happened that that day it was SO hot. It kinda took the desire for some yummy fair food away. We did seek out the sno-cone booth immediately and met up with my brother Milo, sister-in-law Melanie, and their kids and walked around enjoying those. Eventually we ended up eating dinner and a big drink and Spaceburger was about all I could handle. The kids wanted to do the tractor pull and so we waited for that to start.

We then watched Kathryn clog and I saw my little brother Jason and his new bride Cassie. We also caught up with Pop then too.
After clogging we took the kids around the animal barns. My past farming experiences caught up with me and I saved a cow. HAHA! It was tied up in the barn and it's leg was caught in the rope. When my Mom and I walked by she said she was too scared to help the cow and said she knew I could do it. There were others just standing there staring at the helpless cow so I "took the bull by the horns" and helped get the cow's leg untangled. The embarrassing part for me was my Mom clapping afterwards and the other people staring. My Mom said she couldn't believe I did it and I told her that I was surprised that someone who was there before us didn't help out first. I'm definitely not an animal lover but if I see they need something I'll make sure to help out.
We then met up with everyone one else and I'm not sure why we got separated but we finished going through the rest of the barns together. When we got to the goat barn there was a girl there holding a baby goat and letting the kids pet it. So here's Jayni doing the thing she loves - petting animals.
There was also a lady milking a goat and one of the kids asked if they could do it and she let them. Here's Jayni getting some milk from the goat.
Then Dane had a go while Kathryn and Jayni watched.
We stayed a little longer but since the heat was not fun to be in we left and the kids and I headed home after I bathed them and visited for awhile. Oh, and Milo and Melanie brought me a yummy funnel cake with chocolate that I enjoyed before leaving town. I hadn't had one before and it was quite delicious!
