Last year the kids were seriously displeased when we weren't able to go to our local Midland County Fair. Having grown up in the UK, they had never been to a county fair, and they were feeling extremely deprived. We knew this year, even though we were still recovering from a long weekend away in Kentucky, we would have to suck it up and take them out there. I think we managed to tick all of the boxes.
Ooh-ing an Ahh-ing at livestock?
Check.
Indulging in some healthy fair food?
It's no deep-fried stick of butter, but still... Check.
Sitting astride a giant pachyderm?
Why yes, as a matter of fact, we did that too.
How about spending twenty American dollars to ride a giant Ferris wheel?
Check.
Double check.
And finally... giving coins to the creepy and rather sad Capuchin monkey.
Check, please.

Did you pick up your school-supply of pencils and lots of other unneeded tschotke at all the booths and tents? And that monkey always creeps me out! Did you and George get identical air-brushed shirts?
