Nicholas' First Town Fair!!!

** We went to a local agricultural fair tonight and had a great time. Nicholas loved all of the animals and the fact that he could pat them and feed them too. Here are the highlights of the night...
Nicholas and Mom feeding a calf!

Feeding the goats...they were by far the most hungry!
These two sheep were Nicholas' favorite at the fair. He spent the most time patting them.
He was very impressed by the cows too!
Dad had to help him get use to patting a cow before Nicholas felt comfortable going it alone.
Nicholas rode his first horse. The horse's name was Big Red and he was a very sweet horse.
At first Nicholas was scared but after a minute he thought it was great!
The bouncy house...always a favorite for Nicholas!
Nicholas played his first game at a fair. He used the hook and caught a duck. On the bottom of his duck was a green dot so Nicholas won a prize!
He picked a horn and blew it the whole way home!
One last stop by the cows on the way out...


It was a great time! I have to mention that the Italian Sausage, hot dogs, and homemade ice cream also added to our fun!
Coming next week...Nicholas will be attending a family reunion in Vermont next weekend where he will meet the Thurber side of his family for the first time! I'm sure it will be a special weekend for everyone.

What a great fair. Nicholas must have had a great time. We can't wait until the fairs start here in CT. Colby seems to love animals but hasn't had the chance to pet them or see them yet, except for a couple miniature horses my family has.
