At the Sauk County Fair....
- Isaiah had stepped in cow poop less than 5 minutes after arrival. He was wearing sandals.
- The carnie with the camel gave us the stink eye when I didn't pony up $5 for Isaiah to ride it after we had stood there for at least three minutes while Isaiah tried to get the camel to say "moo."
- We learned that Porta Potties and a freshly potty trained toddler are NOT a good combo. My apologies to the man who gave me the funny look when he spotted my boy's bare bum as I had to make an emergency undie change next to the pony rides.
- I nearly broke my "no deep fried foods" rule for the fresh donuts. Nearly. I resisted consumption, but I purposefully stood near enough to that stand to smell the damn things for at least 3 minutes. I think my nose gained 2 pounds.
- We purchased no cotton candy, no funnel cakes, and no corn dogs. The gyro, however, left me with gut rot that will haunt me forever. In hindsight, that was a mistake.
- I should have just bought the stupid donuts.
- Isaiah discoverd that real life John Deere tractors aren't nearly as interesting as his miniature toy tractor. They didn't even make noise (or so he thought).
- A young man making a rocket out of two straws, a label, and some masking tape is apparantly a terrifying experience for a two-year old to endure. He hid behind me the entire time.
- Bunnies are fun to look at, but NOT to touch.
- Double strollers are most certainly not meant to go in the cow barn nor the pig barn. Unfortunately, we did not discover this until it was too late.
- They make the most insanely good donuts. Not that I would know this. I just heard it from the me from a year ago whose pregnant self consumed about 6 of them. This year's me is extremely jealous of last year's me.
And most importantly, at the Sauk County Fair.....
....women wrestle pigs and come out looking like this:
I'm actually kind of sad I missed that.
Just wait till I report back about the Alto Fair. Start saving up now for your trip to Wisconsin next year so you too can partake in the joy that is a midwestern fair!
