Delaware County Fair

The other weekend we joined the Pollocks at the Delaware County Fair. It marked a lot of firsts for the kids. above is Eleanor's first real fair ride. Lindsey was nice enough to escort her on the crazy looking kangaroos. Despite the mad look on Nora's face, which she had the entire time, when I came to get her out she said "more" and was rather upset to leave.

Here is Jackson enjoying his first taste of a funnel cake, really just the powdered sugar. Needless to say he was a big fan.

We also got to see the early races of the Little Brown Jug, which is of course "the most prestigious 3-year-old pacing race in North America." Here are Skyler, Lindsey, and Eleanor checking out the action.

Jackson got into cheering on the horses while holding himself up on my shorts.


Eleanor also loved the baby animals that had in one building.

Due to a mistake in packing food for Jack we didn't get to stay as long as we wanted. Nora was not happy to go home and kept saying "more fair". At home later talking about how much she liked the fair I told her we would go again soon, she said "leave!" and walked right to the front door ready to hit the fair.
