Yesterday, Leandra and I made our annual pilgrimage to the mecca of teenagers by the herd, spinny rides, livestock, and deep fried everythings: the Elkhart County 4-H fair. And, we went on rodeo night to top it off. Rodeo night at the fair was one of our first dates 4 years ago. You can't find a better place than a good 4-H fair to look at animals (4-H rabbits, bengal tigers, and everything in between), watch people (all the way from a substantial Amish "crowd" to a family of Italian acrobats), eat lots of food, and blow money on games for overstuffed and overhyped road-worker-vest-green gorillas. Here are a few from the fair!
Leandra's choice for the gooey-doughy-and-sweet course (which comes right after the salty-fried-and-cheesy)
Mine. Getting pie at the fair always makes me remember mom saying when I was younger how much she loved the fair because it was a "little slice of Americana". This is a big slice, a la mode, but it doesn't get much more American than this. Red checkered tablecloth not included.
It's fair to say that I was quite glad there were one, two, three fences between me and this guy:
The rest of Maria and Jeremiah's will be here... tomorrow! Then a little peek of Amy and Craig's engagement session.
