Latah County Fair

Friday night we had a family date night plus one.  I watch an old coworkers little girl 2-3 afternoons a week.  Her babysitter for Friday and Saturday were unavailable so we had Ashlyn with us till her dad picked her up.  Ashlyn and Andrew are 2 months apart (she being older) and both have blonde hair and blue eyes and both names start with A, so a lot of people ask if they are twins.  Sometimes I get little glimpses of what it would be like to have twins.
The Arbys in Moscow had their anniversary sale with $.99 regular roast beef sandwiches.  Yummy!  We went there for dinner and then to the fair afterwards.
The Latah fair is a fun fair.  First of all it is free to get in and they have fun things to do.

There are the animals of course.  Who doesn’t love the animals at the fair?!  Since we have a little boy that loves animals, it is a must see.

But of course, he is two so he is easily distracted.  He thought the rope lights and the girl sweeping up were a great part of the fair.

One of the highlights of the Latah fair is the train rooms. There are two rooms, one with bigger scale trains and the other has smaller scale ones.  Andrew loves trains so he was so excited to watch them.  He liked the bigger ones better and kept saying “cool, cool!”

In the same building are all the business booths.  Andrew has learned that most of the booths have candy on them.  He will run to a table and look for candy, grab a piece and go to the next.  His pockets are quite full at the end.  Dum Dum suckers are his favorite though.

We had a great night at the fair.  I love the fall season…the air is cooler and crisper, there is a fair every weekend and pumpkins are abounding.  I am so excited to have Andrew experience it all this season. Bring on the pumpkin patches and hay rides!
