Washington Parish Fair






We went to the Washington Parish Fair yesterday. It worked out pefectly for us to go. Austin was off and we just happened to think of it. The weather was also beautiful. We try to go every year but October is usually so busy we don't make it but like every other year. Last year we didn't go b/c I was 8 months pregnant and we figured I would be miserable walking around. We just brought Colby this time. Next year I hope to go back the 4 of us! We figured with Lindsay just getting over being sick and still being so little she wouldn't really enjoy it. Plus taking her we would have to worry about a place to change diapers, feed her, etc. Not to mention she would be exhausted!
We took Colby at 2 so we weren't sure if he would remember it or not! He loved it when we went 2 years ago. He didn't really act like he remembered it but maybe he remembered some of it who knows! Austin's parents were able to meet us which was nice.
We spent a lot of time when we first got there looking at the farm animals. Colby loved this! He loved the cows! We were also able to do the petting zoo this time. Last time that part wasn't open when we were there. Colby was able to pet and hold bunnies and see all sorts of other animals.
Next we went to the old village. I think Colby liked walking around the old houses. I just wish it hadn't been so crowded b/c I think he would have walked around more but it was hard to keep up with him. We stood in line to get cheese and crackers from the general store. After we sat in the shade and enjoyed a little snack. Colby enjoyed running around by the little creek. Next he was begging to go ride the rides so that is where we spent the next hour. He rode 3 or 4 little kiddie rides. I think he had fun! He wanted to do more but they were expensive and it was getting crowded.
After we got out of that area he was having a meltdown. We wanted to eat lunch at the Fair but seeing how crowded it was and what kind of mood Colby was in we decided to go ahead and head out. We did stop in and see the animals one last time though.
On the way home Colby fell asleep for a few minutes but then we stopped for lunch. We had to pick up Lindsay before we got home. We had a great time but were all tired! Austin had to go into work that night so that left me and the kids! Needless to say we all went to bed early!
