Nicollet County Fair

Avery & Me at the Nicollet County Fair 2012
Today Avery went to the Nicollet County fair, his first county fair!  County Fairs are fun, there are always so many great things to see and eat! One of the main reasons I wanted Avery to go to the fair is to see the animals up close, not like at the zoo, where the animals are so far away or behind glass. Avery got to see the 4H horses (neigh neighs), goats, chickens, ducks, lambs, bunnies, pigs, and cows. 
Neigh Neighs! 
Ducks!
Come closer lambs, i want to pet you!
Avery took full advantage of the fact that he could get so close to so many animals, reaching into the many of the cages and stalls to try to pet the animals (not sure he was suppose to , opps). There was one particularly friendly sheep that nibbled and licked Avery, so to show his appreciation to the sheep Avery tried to give him a kiss on his nose.

Besides all the 4H animals there was also a petting zoo, Avery marched himself right in glancing at the animals as he b-lined it to where the mini horse was. He was in heaven, a neigh neigh just his size! 
This Neigh Neigh is just my size!
After we got our fill of the animals we headed to the food building for a little lunch. To finish off our fair outing, and space we had left in our stomachs, we headed to the dairy building for a milkshake and some funnel cake.

We definitely had a good time at the fair!
