On Friday July 30th Sandra flew in, and mom and Karl drove in for the weekend. The Deschutes County Fair was free Friday before 3pm so, we decided to head out to the fair before we had to pay. We hadn't counted on the crowds and as 2pm was quickly approaching we had to make a plan. I told the parking attendent that I just wanted to drop the bunch off, so he waved me through and Sandra quickly jumped out of the car with the kids at 2:57pm. We figured paying for one was better than paying for 6. Turns out I lucked out and got a parking spot real close and squeaked into the free entrance around 3:03. Phew!
It was a very toasty afternoon so we spent the first couple hours inside looking at exhibits which is where we happened across mom and Karl about 30min. after we had arrived. Lucky!
Karl snuck off with Ethan for some "male bonding" and came back with this HUGE jawbreaker!Ethan is still working on it, but it is more than half gone.
What's a fair without some greasy food and something sweet to swig it down?
Abby was less than impressed with the pony ride. She did NOT like being "babysat" by the boy who was there to make sure the kids were safe. 
We saw tonnes of goats, chickens, guinea pig, rabbits, and various other animals of course...
We hit the rodeo, which was a bit lacking in excitement and then it was on to the rides!
LOVE the county fair! It is always such a fun and exhausting day!

Ahh, good times. :-) Gotta love the fair!! I had one of those Jawbreakers once, I remember licking it till my tongue bled. Nothing is worth ripping the tastebuds off your tongue! Bad memory. :-)
