2nd Annual trip to the Nevada County Fair

This past Saturday was our 2nd annual trip to the Nevada County fair with Grandma Valerie & Papa Lewis. The kids quickly got over the news of their dad not being able to go when I told them Uncle Ramsey, Aunty Jen & Ashley were going. Saturday afternoon-the weather was on our side- a mild mid-80s paired with all of the tall shaded trees made for a pleasant afternoon. Arriving, we immediately walked towards the goats and pigs to get a better look….stinky 1 ton pigs (yuck)! I must say though, the 1 week old piglets were just as cute as the cartoons make them to be. Not 5 minutes goes by and the kids are already asking, “When are we going to ride the rides?” It’s a good thing we checked out the farm animals first. 4 amazing corn dogs, some fried veggies, and a few beers later we finally made our way towards the rides. Aiden, being the thrill seeker that he is, couldn’t wait to ride on anything and everything. Ashley and Ethan conscientiously hand selected what they wanted to ride. Ava had her first roller coaster experience, but mid-ride looked at me very calmly and said, “I don’t like this. I want to get off.” It gave me a great laugh. She did however enjoy the cars that went around in a circle, at a speed much more suitable for her to enjoy. We rode lots of rides, drank some more beers, played a few games, got a ton of dirt on our feet, and had a blast. (And this year no broken toe) Another remarkable day in the memory books! Thanks Grandma & Papa
