is the theme for this year's Chelan County Fair.
And today was the perfect day to check it out.
Miss Cool on our way to the fair.
Mr Sonshine on our way to the fair.
Our first stop inside the fair grounds was the animal show.
They had wolves, cougars, arctic foxes, snakes, porcupines, lizards and even birds!
Maybe in a couple of years Rollin can volunteer to help out on the stage like these boys did.
Next stop was the best ever face painting booth!
Vivian held perfectly still and closed her eyes like a little fairy.
Rolli was kinda giddy about getting his face painted.
He is so silly sometimes.
Vivian's fairy eyes.
Vivian was in a rather serious mood.
And Rolli was flirting with all the girls.
Rolli and his dinosaur face painting.
I love the mouth!
Vivian loves glitter!
Then we where off to the barns!
Vivian was excited to see the pigs.
Until one of them made an unexpected noise.
I was actually embarrassed by her reaction.
It was that ridiculous.
She jumped, screamed, ran blindly and finally found my leg to climb up.
Poor girl... I laughed.
This sleeping pig has no idea that Rolli is saying "Hi!"
Chickens!
(if you look at Vivian's bed head it's obvious that we went after nap time)
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Smell my hand."
I kept telling the kids not to stick their hands into the animal cages.
Me, "Just put your hand out and let them come smell it."
Rolli, "Bite my hand?"
Me, "No. Just keep your fingers out of the cages."
So Vivian was guiding Rolli around reminding him not to stick his hand in the cage.
"C'mon Rolli. No hands, cage."
She is such a sweet Momma Sister.
Bunnies!
"Smell hand? Bunny, smell hand?"
This nice young lady let Vivian pet her chicken.
While Rolli snuck off to terrorize the turkey.
Rolli and Vivian thought it was the coolest thing to hear the rooster crow.
Not at all like Mommy has been teaching them...
hmm... maybe I should work on my animal imitations.
Cow.
Very. Very. Short cow.
This is not an optical illusion.
It is seriously the shortest cow I have ever seen.
After we finished touring the animal barns you'll never guess what we found.
Rocks!
"Big Rock!"
We spent about as much time at the rocks as we did with the oddly short cow.
We didn't forget the rides.
I probably could have gotten away with just letting the twins simply watch.
But it was so much funnier to actually take them on their first carnival ride instead.
Partially by default (because of hight limitations) we picked the Dive Bomber.
Rolli piloting.
Mommy and Vivian riding as passengers.
It was a fun little ride.
Just fast enough to be exciting, but not to fast to scare.
Until next year...
*and in case you are wondering about the clarity of these photos,
I took them with my phone.
