Benton Franklin County Fair

Ryan and I were so excited to take Casey to the fair and see all the animals! He loves his dogs, so we figured he would like all the other weird looking "dogs". And yes, he did! We visited all the 4-H animals, and all the 4-H exhibits. I showed in the fair in 4-H with many projects, but mainly dogs, so I love to look at all the stuff.

We got to see a little bit of the dock dogs, those were fun to watch, ours don't enjoy the water all that much. I tried to sneak democrat stickers on Casey's stroller, but they were rejected by Ryan....rude! Just for that, I ate his candy, ha!

Casey liked the petting zoo, he got to pet goats, sheep and ponies. I loved the look on his face, sheer amazement and utter curiosity...priceless.

Some how, among all the noise and hustle bustle of the fair, Casey managed to sleep over an hour in his stroller. We watched the arm wrestling championship...pretty dumb, but kinda like a train wreck that you can't help but stare at.

We were really excited to go to the Luke Bryan concert....but realized well before that, it was just too loud for Casey. The warm up was soooo loud. So we headed to the rodeo!! Our favorite is the mutton busting...Casey will be competing just as soon as we can strap the kid to a sheep. Something tells me my fearless kid will enjoy it! I guess we can practice on the dogs.
