Thursday date night takes us to the fair :)

We are very lucky ducks because the fair is just a few miles down the road, and as everybody knows, the fair is LOADED with fun.
We saw a Clydesdale show...
and some neat things carved out of logs with chainsaws...
and a lumberjack show, complete with axe-throwing at a bullseye, log-sawing contests, log rolling (and for that, they even called two people out of the audience to try it, and Jan & I were VERY GLAD it wasn't us), and tree climbing.
It took this guy about 8 seconds to get up that tree,
and much less to get back down. Maybe Jan will quit his job and we'll run away to seek our fortunes as a lumberjack and lumberjill :)
And we also saw lots & lots of animals, including cows and ducks and geese and sheep and goats and a zebra, but my very favorite are always the brand new pigs.
This litter is only two days old. And, there was another great big mama-to-be in a nearby pen with a sign above her that said "Lady in waiting" :)
