Kalamazoo County Fair


Wednesday, August 13th, 2009

Today we went to the Kalamazoo County Fair with grandma. I found the miracle of birth tent the most interesting. There was a cow, pig and sheep all in labor expected to deliver sometime that day. The pig Maude was pregnant with 10-14 piglets. I didn't realize they had that many babies at one time. Apparently a laboring cow got loose on Tuesday and was running through the midway. My favorite ride was the fire ball. Mom rode the ride with me once and I couldn't convience Z to come anywhere near it. He's such a chicken. Bauk Bauk
