Swimming

Douglas County Fair

We spent the morning at the fair in town.  There was some cloud cover and it was a tad cooler so we could actually enjoy it.  I was a little disappointed at the amount of animals - 4-H doesn't seem as popular here as southwest MN.  Brody loved feeding the animals - he was a little hesitant about the turtle making sure to ask me if it was a snapping turtle first.  Sophie didn't know what to think - she made lots of noises along with pointing and clapping her hands.  Of course I couldn't get her to smile though :) Brody was pretty excited to get to wear his rain boots from Grandma and Grandpa Herrmann because it rained a little last night (praise the Lord!) and I thought it might be a little muddy.  I'm sure his feet were super hot but he didn't care! These top two pictures are from Brody and I going back in the evening - we were waiting for the tractor pull to start and he wanted to ride a pony.
