Westmoreland County Fair

We went to the Westmoreland County fair and had a fabulous time! There was a huge field filled with all sorts of tractors and equipment. The children had a field day!
Alice was just as anxious as the boys to sit in the seats. Unfortunately, the horns still worked. So it would get *very* noisy if a child figured out how to blow the horn!
Pryor thought he had died and gone to heaven! We had to peal him away from this area to go explore the rest of the fair. We came back to the tractors at the end, and literally had to carry him to the car. He was not happy to leave!
The children's tent had several activities, one of them being "milk a cow." My parents took me to the Illinois state fair when I was young and I remember when milking a cow meant touching a live cow! This "cow" at least had real milk.
Stephen and Grady put together a "treasure box." We thought we'd be there for ever but it only took them about fifteen minutes. Grady was so excited to do this! Especially with his Daddy!
Here is the terrible twosome having at this project. Of course Pryor wanted to "help." We could only "milk the cow" for so long! HA! I love this picture because the way they were sitting really highlights their casts. Of course this was a week and a half ago when they still had the casts on. Ah, those were the good old days! HA HA!
