Clinton Fair 2012

First, I apologize....I am writing this blog in "HTML" because our computer is being weird...and I have no idea how this is going to come out.... First, check out the pictures of what we took out of the garden today! FINALLY,our tomatoes are starting to do something!! We are harvesting tomatoes daily now, and we even have some huge, beautiful Brandywine varieties--Callum is holding this one. Clinton Fair was awesome this year, as it always is....but Callum was ABSOLUTELY terrified of the whole scene, which is weird, since after CHRISTMAS, the Clinton Fair is his favorite event of the year! He was scared of the loud noises of the tractor pulls, the music, the roller coaster, and the Hurdy Gurdy Man (this creepy old dude who drove a motorcycle around the fair, and in the back of the motorcycle was a trailer pulling fake automoton monkeys who played fake instruments....). He wouldnt go on any rides or anything! But Maira did, as seen with her merry go round pictures with me! She rode the horsies twice in a row, while Callum watched, laughed, and took pictures of her! Food was great as it always is....I enjoyed a sausage and an apple crisp. Amanda enjoyed the same. The kids had hot dogs. Lynne and George, who met us there on their way back from Seawall, enjoyed some sausage, but also bought a four dollar apple fritter/donut thing that was roughly the size of a small pizza. Feeding the goats, visiting the chickens, petting the bunnies, and staring at all the Clinton freaks rounded out the day. A great time at the fair!!
