County Fair


Today we drove to Casa Grande to visit the Pinal County Fair. Our friends Sydney was showing a pig for auction and we thought it would be a good day out with the kiddos and a great way to spend my birthday with Nana and Uncle Jerry. We arrived about 10:30 and went in right away to see Jenny, Tony and Sydney. Oh and Porkers of course! After that we took Sydney with us to ride some rides before we went to eat a GREAT BBQ lunch. After lunch we rode a few more rides and played a few games. We also walked around and saw some of the exibits, photos, cakes, animals and 4H booths. We saw a few shows, touched a sting ray or two, Nana got a Characture and we saw a presentation on electrical safety. We then took a break to watch some of the auction and wait for Sydney and Porkers turn in the arena. Porkers sold for $1.50 a pound :( After the auction we rode more rides and played a few more games but the best part was AQUA BUBBLE where the kids got to walk on water (well kinda). Aqua Bubble is a giant inflatable bouncy ball in a shallow pool of water. Once you shove the kid in the ball you inflate it around the child, seal it up and let them roll off into the pool bumping into other children doing the same thing. It was a GREAT day at the fair and we will definatly do it again next year. Who knows the boys may even be in 4H this year and have something to do for the fair next year!
