Greenville County Fair

We recently went to our county fair. I have great memories of the fair while growing up, so I was very excited to go. Unfortunately, this fair was nowhere near as nice or big as the one we had in Michigan. I was disappointed, but we still had a good time. Bailey absolutely loved it, so that's all that really matters.

We got to see elephants.

There was also a tiger show, the best part of the fair. I've never seen tigers at a fair before.

Bailey thought the tigers were pretty cool, but she was also distracted by a little boy sitting next to us and the roller coasters nearby.

This was the biggest tiger they had. He was huge.

Then we went to their small petting zoo where we saw a tortoise...

goats...

and camels. Bailey was seriously laughing so much while we were with the animals. She loved them.

Bailey also experienced all the important aspects of the fair. Her first corndog...

first caramel apple...

and cotton candy (not her first time though). (Bailey has a Band-Aid on her face because she got a mosquito bite that she would scratch until it bled. It was getting pretty bad. She thought the Band-Aid was the coolest thing.)

I also wanted Bailey to go to the Pick a Duck booth. I remember doing this every time I would go to the fair when I was little. I loved it. And you always win something, so it's great.

For Bailey's prize, we chose a pink ball. It was a hit.

We decided we had experienced all of the fair that we cared to experience and were ready to leave. On the way out, we met this clown who was giving away candy. You can see by the expression on Bailey's face that she was very skeptical of this strange-looking person. But inside, she was secretly loving it. While we were walking to the car, we had to say goodbye to everything: the fair, the goats, the chickens, and the CLOWN. Over and over again. She must have said, "Goodbye, clown," at least twenty times on the way home. And then she kept saying it while we were getting her ready for bed. The clown made quite the impression on her.

It ended up being quite a fun trip.
