A Day, A Week, Hemant, A Year

On Sunday we decided to take the kids to the Kane County Fair.  It was raining in the morning, but by noon it had cleared up and the sun came out.  Once we got out to the fairgrounds we realized just how hot of a day it was.  It was in the mid 30s during the few hours we were out there, with almost no breeze.

We started off by taking the kids to the animal petting areas.  We saw a huge Flemish rabbit that looked more like a dog with floppy ears.  We also saw delicious steaks, bacon, veal, and chicken wings.  The kids really liked petting and feeding the animals.  I really liked the thought of eating them.  Mira got a bit of a scare when she was pushed down by a couple of goats who then proceeded to steal the feed we bought for her.  The look of shock on her face remained for about five minutes, but she regained her courage and started mingling with the animals again.

We spent the remainder of the time taking the kids on the rides.  I only went on one, and since I’m not really a “ride” type of person, that was enough for me.  I can’t remember what it was called, but I think it is called the “Himalaya” at the Saskatoon Ex.  I’m pretty sure I have bruised ribs from it…maybe broken.

After we got back to the house we took it pretty easy.  We spent a little time playing with the kids outside, so it seemed like a good opportunity to pull out my big camera and take some pictures.  I was firing them off left and right.  Boy, these shots were going to be fabulous.  After about twenty minutes I realized I didn’t have a memory card in the camera.  Brutal.  At this moment I put a card in and started taking pictures again - treating my previous blunder as a practice session.

By the end of the day everyone was pretty tired and found comfort in their own way.
