The Fair - Day Two
After a day of rest we returned to the fair on Friday night. Near the entrance we found the crashed up cars belonging to the school shop class. It had been beaten up pretty badly in the Demolition Derby the night before.


We grabbed some supper and finished it off by sharing a bowl of ice cream.


"Daddy, look!"


Wednesday night had been totally devoted to the rides. This time we took the opportunity to stop by the livestock barn so Emma could see the animals.



As we passed by the rabbit exhibit one of the exhibitors was feeding her bunny. She kindly pulled the rabbit out of it's cage so some kids could pet it. Emma had to sit in a chair and then the bunny was placed in her lap. As soon as Emma felt the unexpected "claws" hit her leg she grabbed the bunny by it's back one-handed and set it aside. Yikes! Then M moved in to hold the bunny in place so Emma could pet it gently.


I got a kick out of the lamppost that the amusement company owners placed in front of their mobile home.


The girl behind Emma is the "other" Emma, who's mom used to send us bags of clothes. That Emma is four years old now. Unfortunately I'd say that she and our Emma are about the same size now. Pretty soon we'll be sending clothes to that Emma I wager.


There was someone to run the Go Go Gators Friday night so Emma got to ride that for the first time. The ride goes in an oval and whips the gator around the curves quickly for a centrifugal thrill. The girls erupted in giggles each time. She's riding with her babysitter's granddaughter.
