The fair - day 2

Friday evening the four of us went to the Carver County Fair. We looked at the animals - chickens, ducks, roosters, cows, horses, sheep, goats, etc. Katie said her favorite was the baby chicks, I think Will's were the horses.

John got to see Katie's artwork and ribbons that she won, then we settled in to play some bingo - no winners here. After a little rainstorm we grabbed some food. John and Katie decided to play a water game where you shoot at a target and race the other people playing. They WON! So Katie got to pick ANY stuffed animal that she wanted. She got a tiger. That's neat, we thought - we never win things like that! Then John and Katie went on a Dizzy Dragon ride. After that Katie played one more kiddie game - she won Will a snake.

On our way out John saw that one game had a giant Iowa State basketball to win. You had to throw a baseball at these 3 blocks and try to knock all of them off the table. What the heck, John said he would try it once. WHAM! One ball was all it took - he won again! Seriously - we were on a roll...or rather John was. Then they gave us the ball - it's a basketball fabric wrapped around a big exercise ball! No, it did not fit in the trunk. I held it on my lap all the way home. :) My own personal air bag.
