We have had the pleasure of being able to have Flat Stanley visit us for the last couple of weeks : ) He came to us from Tamara's family and we intend to show him a really good time so that he can go home with many tales to tell!
Stanley had mentioned to us that he had never been to a country fair on Vancouver Island before and since we just LOVE going to the fair we made that the first stop on our itinerary and what's a trip to the fair without having your photo taken with the prize winning Best in Show chicken :) Quick Stanley! you better get out of there before that rooster pecks you!
Phew! this is much safer and wow is this Hampshire ewe ever soft. I think we should stay here a little while and pet her. What do 'ewe' think.
Tee hee hee, that Stanley is a real ham : )
On our way out of the barn we ran across some really big pigs. This one was snorting and snuffling around in the wood chips so much and making such a breeze he nearly knocked poor Stanley flat on his face! Oh dear. Are you okay Stanley?
I think that Stanley was a little embarrassed that we were so worried about him being such a small guy that he decided to show us just what he was made of! He entered the Logger Sports event and sunk all 4 of these Paul Bunyan sized chainsaws straight into the log faster than you could say 'Lickety-Split'!
As we left the logger sports area we came across the antique tractors and cars and to Stanley's delight we found a car that shared his name. The 'Stanley' Steamer. Now this was a treat that you just can't beat!
We tried to get Stanley a ride on the steamer, we begged and we pleaded but the closest he got was to stand next to the sign.
Our day wasn't done yet and there were many more tractors to watch move around, and we promised our new friend Stanley that before we went home he would get a chance to ride on at least one : ) As we passed the Farmall's, the John Deere's and the Massey Harris tractors we came upon an old threshing machine in perfect working condition. Stanley had never seen one before and ooh was it neat! It took the hay in on a conveyer belt and then inside the machine it stripped the grain off of the hay stalk spitting the grain down one chute into a big bag and the left over hay out another shoot and all this was powered by a great big steam powered tractor and one really floppy belt!
Just as we were about to give up hope on finding Stanley a ride on one of the tractors a kind young fellow on his John Deere tractor pulled up along side us offering hay rides for all of us : ) The fellow could see that Stanley was sooo excited that he let him ride up front with him while Humpty Dumpty and the rest of the gang bumped along in the back on the hay wagon. A great day was had by all of us : )
