A Day at the Fair!

Yesterday I took Ty and Mara to the Tillamook County Fair--the biggest thing to come to Tillamook, well okay the only thing to come to Tillamook!! We had a blast! Ty and Mara loved looking at EVERYTHING!! There is always so much to see and do at the fair. We walked around and saw all the animals. We checked out all the booths not to mention the best booth there done by yours truly Nathan D. Lewis for the US Forest Service! His presentation on the forest service was awesome and even won a blue ribbon!! Way to go Nate! While we ate our lunch we watched a magic show. Ty was in awe at the many fabulous tricks the magician could do! Ty's favorite thing was riding all the tractors! He wanted to try them all out! He kept telling me 'I really want to do just one more mama!"







Mara loved seeing all the farm animals and she loves to 'baaa baaa' when she sees sheep! It's so dang cute! Although she likes to look at the animals she wasn't too sure about
touching them!!


Ty was pretty brave to touch the animals in fact check out what he's touching here: a real live alligator named little Al!! Ty loved the reptile exhibit! He thought the snakes, lizards, chameleons, and frogs were just so cool!!

I was afraid my allergies would have kept me out of the animal barns--thank goodness for Zertec!! One pill and I was allergy free! My favorite animal was the enormous cow! This cow is only four years old and is already over six feet tall and still growing!!


The kids got in free to the fair, but the price of rides is what gets ya! I told Ty he could ride on one ride so he chose the cars! Mara wasn't a fan of the ride and although the pictures show her content and happy she cried every time she saw me!
















The fair wouldn't be complete without a treat--or two! We enjoyed a delicious melty, gooey, cinnamon roll but can you really go to the Tillamook Fair and not partake of Tillamook ice-cream? No! Ty convinced us we really needed an ice-cream cone too so we all tasted one of our favorite kinds: Oregon Strawberry! Oooh yummy!

Check out Ty and Mara's moves at the fair! The music started to play and they both started dancing!
