We had a ball at the Fryeburg Fair this year...fried dough, apple crisp, gravy-smothered roast turkey...mmmm....what was I talking about? Oh yeah, and the fair was pretty cool, too. Ava and mom rode the ferris wheel and then even did an adult ride - the big boat that swings back and forth (can't remember the name). Yikes! That was a bit much for the little munchkin but she handled it stoically and made it through with eyes closed and knuckles white. What a trooper!
The highlight of the event was definitely the PIG SCRAMBLE. Twelve 8-to-10 year olds ran crazily after 10 squealing piglets. Not only did they have to catch them, they had to put the piglet into a yellow mesh bag to win it. Words cannot describe how hysterically funny this was, but here is a fuzzy camera-video to try to convey some of it:
The little guy!
Ava did a great job taking care of her little cousin.
This is "Rusty", Julie & Craig's next door neighbors' horse. He hangs out at the top of the hill most of the day and didn't mind me coming up to pet his nose.
