This morning we were up and off to the Elkhart County 4-H Fair. Cam and Meg had a lot of fun last year and wanted to try it again. The rides weren't open yet so they enjoyed a soft pretzel and snow cone while we checked out the merchant tents and young McDonald's farm. The more we walked, however, the more the heat started to get to Meg. It had been an extremely cool summer with a lot of rain, so none of us were ready for the heat and humidity that returned this week. Cam wanted to ride several rides, but Meg realized that she wouldn't be able to. I was worried about her getting a migraine especially with soccer conditioning tonight.
Therefore, I decided that it would be best to take her home to rest and cool off and Cameron and I would return at 6 p.m. when Grandpa Cutes had to work. I was glad that we did as she was able to make it to conditioning without a problem and Cam and I were able to talk Grandma into coming back with us. Cameron had a great time trying the rides. The Crazy Mouse ride was probably his favorite, but he also rode a swinging boat and several fun houses. In addition he had a great time playing the carnival games. He won a cheetah at the balloon dart. He played the color game multiple times, but no luck there. We did have time to also check out Grandpa's booth at Doors and Drawers and ran into Mike Pancoast as well. Dad talked us into bringing Meg's Tinkerbell to the glue booth and there were actually able to fix it. I had tried several times and so had Mom. Thus, we were really impressed when Cameron tried to pull the wing back off and it held. We toured the animal barns on the way out and Cam found an elephant ear that was delicious. Although it didn't start off that way, it definitely turned out to be a great day at the fair!!
