A couple of weekends ago the four of us headed into Dayton for the Montgomery County Fair. The last time Ben was at an American-style fair was when he was a baby in Georgia. He started out by petting some piglets.
The buttered and grilled corn on the cob was a little too slick for Ben to hold, so I had the privilege of being the cornholder while he ate. We all shared that bucket o' fries.
Maddy looks like she's gonna get blown away here. It was more her hair than the wind.
There was a little petting zoo with a bunch of goats...and a pretty pushy camel.
Ben got to distribute two handfuls of food. He doesn't pull his hand away like he used to.

We bought one of those tickets for Ben that gave him unlimited rides. At first we thought it was a mistake...how many rides would he possibly want to go on? Answer: a handful, over and over and over. That ticket was totally worth it.
Sure, he liked riding in the car. But then he saw...
...THE FUN SLIDE. It must look more like a slide of terror to a 3-yr-old, but Ben insisted. So Mike and Ben slid down together. And Ben was THRILLED.
He was so thrilled that he couldn't stop himself from jumping up and down while waiting in line to go down the slide again.
Next up, in Part 2: Ben goes on the slide again. I lost track of how many times.

That is soooooo cute.
I love the picture of Ben looking at you eating an oreo! That was priceless. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time-more great memories.
Happy time was had by all, even those who just looked at the photos!
