Fun at the Fair

Every year we do our best to take the kids down to the Hudsonville Fair. The food and animals are a big hit, but nothing compares with the tractors. It seems a little pricey to spend $11 for a gyro and a Mountain Dew, but if it is only once a year it's worth it (okay, it's twice, we usually go to the Ottawa County Fair as well).

Holden really wanted to try out the rides, but when we were there on Monday they were still setting up. He has a great pitiful face, but there wasn't a thing I could do.

The most important part of the fair every year is getting to sit on every tractor there. I try to discourage them from getting on any that aren't green, but they don't really get the whole idea of brand loyalty yet.






Grandpa even got into the act a couple times!


Holden is hooking up to some piece of equipment.



It is always fun for the kids to watch the tractor pulls to, once they can sit still for more than 12.5 seconds I might actually pay to watch it from the grandstands, for now, it seems pretty cool for them even if we are watching from the dumpster outside the fence (give me a break, I just spent $28 on dinner).
