Even though this was a bit of a busy week with Vacation Bible School at our church, we could not miss out on going to the county fair! The only day all week that really worked for us to go was Monday, so as soon as VBS was over, we headed home, put on sunscreen, and headed over to the shuttle bus to take us to the fairgrounds!
A highlight each year is the giant slides! This slide is the kids slide; Faith also went on the giant slide in the other area of the fair! Shane wisely just went on this one!
We met a few of our friends from church (and of course VBS!) at the fair, which worked out really well and was very fun! This family has two boys - one just older than Faith and one just older than Shane. The kids of similar ages ended up going on rides together since they older two wanted to do rides the younger two did not! And poor Olivia just took in the sights from the stroller!
Truck driver Shane!
One of the reasons we really wanted to go to the fair was to see our neighbor Kelly's pig! She has raised a pig for the fair for the last eight years! This is her final pig as she is leaving for college at the end of August! The kids always enjoy being able to talk to Kelly there!
Something new this year - all the kids did the tractor pull activity! It was harder than it looked, but they could all complete the task!
A shot from VBS! This was my partner and close friend Melissa! Together we were "captains" of the 5th and 6th grade class of kids. It was a nautical theme this year - Gangway to Galilee! It was a fun-filled week, but I'm glad it's over!
