Fair Time

We had a really great time at the fair this year, we went with our friends: Jeff, Chris and Sammie.
I think they county went all out this year. They hired face painters, caricature artists and a clown that juggles and makes balloon animals. And the best part is the county paid their fees so they didn't charge anybody for their service. We were too late for the face painting...and Berti had no interest in it anyways which made mommy very upset, you know I would have loved those photos :) But the kids both got balloon animals and Eric and I got our picture drawn. The caricature artists was really cool. He talked to Eric about radio and football. It turns out he owns a haunted house in Omaha and it sounds fun so I plan on going this year.
After getting our photo drawn, we went out and walked around the fairgrounds. It was actually really nice out, like the first non 100 degree day all week. Liberty in the bouncy castle and then went on her elephants although this year she decided her favorite one was pink, not orange. "Orange is old" she told me :) We ate funnel cake and cotton candy and Logan got his favorite corn dog :) We watched the Juggler. He told funny jokes and made faces at Berti and Lolo to make them laugh. He was also the clown that made balloon animals. He was really good! Oh and he' didn't dress like a clown. I just knew he was one because I grabbed his business card. If this photo looks familiar it's because Jeff looks the exact same in every photo I take of him. Same pose, same smile, same glasses. I'm not sure how he does it but it creeps me out. Eric won us all posters playing the dart game and then he got balloon bats for the kids which they used to attack Chris with. Eric and Chris went up into the fun house. Eric pulled Chris's pants down as he tried to go up the stairs but I didn't get a photo. You could hear them laughing the whole time they were up there and I'm glad the only little kids around were mine since they are both pretty immature. I have a very funny video of them but it was getting dark and my battery was low so my photos didn't turn out too great. Even though Eric had to get up early the next morning, we ended up staying until way past ten. It was really really fun!
