We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Clay County Fair, as we seem to have every year. This year we took in three shows: one on animals of the rainforest, one on big cats that had 5 tigers in it (including a white one!), and one that had an alligator. We arrived at about 10 am and didn't leave until after 5pm. There is so much to do and see! In addition to the shows, we saw many exhibits and walked through most of the animal barns. We rounded out the day with rides on the midway. The food at this fair is awesome as well and I always have a very hard time choosing what to have for lunch. =) There must be about 30-40 or so different food booths. There were too many pics to put in a blog post, so I made a quick & sloppy web page for them.

We could probably spend another whole day there before we would see everything, but that's not going to happen! We've had a terrible cold running through our house, and if my son and I hadn't been nearly over it (just a little coughing now that's clearing things out), we wouldn't have gone. But, sadly, my littlest got it today - we noticed she was coughing some at the fair. It's a really hideous thing that hangs on for about 2 weeks. Fever with chills, congestion & a nasty cough. The doc says nearly all his days are filled right now with seeing people who have gotten this cold. I worry about my littlest, as it seems to have hit her pretty hard all at once. She is resting now, but has a fever. I hope the Tylenol & cold medicine kicks in soon to help her out. The cooler temps and wind at the fair did her no good today.

I don't know how much homeschooling we'll get done tomorrow with a sick little one, but I'm at least going to try to get some things in for DS. I hope everyone had a great day!
