The Fed

Henry doesn’t have an R sound yet, so according to him, we went to the fed. For everyone else, that would be fair. The 4H county fair, to be exact. It. Was. Hot.. But it was fun. I took Henry last year, and we mostly looked at all the animals. This year, Henry was really excited about seeing the animals, trucks and tractors, and he even got to ride some rides.

As we were talking about what he would see before we went, I mentioned goats, which he loves when we go to the zoo. I think the conversation went a little something like this:

Me: Henry, when we go to the fair, we’ll probably see some goats. Are you excited to see goats?

Henry: Doat.

Me: yep, goats.

Henry: one, dew, one dew!

Me: You want to see two goats?

Henry: yeah! Yeh-yo.

Me: Do you think you’ll see a yellow goat?

Henry: Mink.

Me: And a pink goat?

Henry: Yeah. Doat. Dew. Yeh-yo.

We looked hard for the two yellow goats, but alas. We did find these goats though:

Henry really wanted to touch them, but when he gets close, then he doesn’t want to. He’s funny like that.

Henry also got to ride some rides this time. He wasn't tall enough for many, but will be next year! So he got to ride the carousel with daddy (who's never ridden with Henry before):

And the ferris wheel with both of us

And a fire truck with mommy!
