All's Fair in Idaho.

Last week, we took Luciya and Mirabel to the Western Idaho Fair.

With a little coaxing, L. tried her hand at feeding the animals.

And there were some pretty spectacular animals.

L. found their butts particularly fascinating.

She also got to milk a cow!

She proudly wore her milking badge for the rest of the day.

And ride a pony with Dadda.

And a big-girl ride with her mom. Guess who's having the most fun.

And of course, she loved the pig races. Who doesn't?
It was such a joy seeing the fair through her eyes. She had
such a great time that even the silliest things were great fun
for the whole family.

And it wouldn't be a fair without colorful rides.

Blue-ribbon crafts (because some racist @$%! never goes out of style).

Disgusting pseudo-foods.

And transient temples to high-calorie goodness.

John even convinced O., who hates rides, to board the Caterpillar.
In all, a lovely day of greasy, sun-baked fun!
