This is obviously county fair season, and last weekend when we went to visit my family, we went with them to the Davis County Fair. I never thought we'd actually go chasing the county fairs, but I kinda felt like that's what we've been doing.
The biggest reason my family goes to the fair is because my sister, Sydnee, shows goats for it. She works all year at the Bavelas Farm and basically, in return, she gets to help show the goats in the junior competitions. She wins money and great prizes for it. It's way fun for her and fun for us to see her do it.
After the prize ceremony and breakfast for the junior showpeople Saturday morning, we spent the next couple hours walking around the fair, just like we did last week. This fair seemed a lot smaller than the Cache County Fair though, but there were a couple things different that we absolutely loved.
#1 - The Petting Zoo!
There was basically just this big open pen full of all these animals. It was awesome! The tortoise here was probably the most random one of all.
Funny that in the petting zoo there was a zebra, but we couldn't actually pet it. That was a little sad.

A Camel... who would have thought we'd get to pet a camel?
Even more surprising than the camel for me was the Llama! The only llama I've ever seen is in The Emporer's New Groove - so this was pretty cool :)
#2 - Walking on Water! (which may have been at the Cache County Fair, but we didn't see it)
Spencer and I didn't actually do it because it didn't seem to be worth the $8 they were charging for it, but Sadie and Sydnee sure did.
And it was great entertainment for us to watch them out there.
Totally fun!
My favorite part about this fair was Maggie's obsession with this plastic spoon.
It literally kept her happy the WHOLE time we were there. I loved it!
