A Day at the Fair

Trying to catch up on posts... back at the end of August, the New York State Fair was going on. We usually go with the Borsts, but none of the weekends worked out this year, so we were on our own. Nana and Poppa decided to join us, and we had a nice evening at the Fair.

First we went to the circus - Leah was wide-eyed and excited for the circus! Actually, she was probably a little over-stimulated with all of the people, sounds and things to look at.

Tim was picked to be part of the show. SuperClown pulled him out of the audience and first he got to shoot the balloon bow and arrow. He shot an arrow to Cam, and Cam was excited to get a balloon.

We thought that was going to be it, until SuperClown motioned him into the main ring of the circus! They handcuffed him onto a board and went through a whole act about pretending to shoot arrows over his head and between his legs, all while he was blindfolded. It was really funny and fun that Tim was in the show. Cam was a bit traumatized by the whole thing, and didn't like it that the circus was trying to take his daddy away!

Next up was a petting zoo. Cam liked this wallaby, but he wanted to make a funny face in the picture.

What is Cam looking at?

The giraffe in the petting zoo! It was really cool.

We did a bunch of other stuff, mainly eating and looking around at the animals. At the end of the night, Leah was quite tuckered out and fell asleep in her stroller.
