After waking up SUPER early this morning, Moo was itching to do something...and this being Saturday, I wanted to check out a new Farmer's Market, so we headed out. While I think the Farmer's Market is a fantastic way to spend the day, Moo is not as excited about it as I am. So after spending the entire morning picking out delectable organic produce, we did some antiquing (couldn't pass up Granny's Attic - See Granny's Attic post for a pic of what I picked up there), then headed up to the fair. Now this is not a fair like you all are thinking...this is a teensy, tiny fair sponsored by a pie shop held out in the middle of a field. Just to give you an idea of just how tiny it is, it took Moo and I less than an hour to go through the entire thing, play a few games, eat lunch, get an italian ice, get a balloon animal and pop said balloon animal. Oh and admire the livestock, and check out a Civil War re-enactment battle. So yes, it was small. However, Moo and I agreed that it was worth the kind of long drive out there for two reasons. One - the Italian Ice in Da Bomb flavor. I'm not making this up, trust me, I'm not that creative. Lemon, Blue Raspberry and Cherry mixed together to make a very patriotic red, white and blue iced bit of heaven. So tasty on a 98* day. As you can see, Moo liked it too.
The other thing we really liked about the fair was all the animals Moo got to see. Miniature ponies, calves, cows, sheep, goats and Watusi...pictured below. I always thought that was a dance...hmmm....
Moo really loved the HUGE horns on this one. The other one they had used his horn to give the gate a good whack right next to where Moo was standing when she went up to say hello to him. I was afraid the tears would start flowing, but she held it in and said "That guy was really mean, I just wanted to say hi to him. He didn't have to be so sassy!" I'm just glad she didn't get gored by one of those horns! I think it frightened Mommy just as much as it did Moo. And of course, we spent a lot of time in from of Moo's namesake, the baby calves. They were all too far to the back of the pen to pet any, but Moo enjoyed talking to them and really wanted to help them find their Mommies. Too cute. And to top it all off, Moo won herself a chocolate mousse pie! After the fair we went to go pick it up at the pie shop and it looks tasty! Not a bad day.
