Rockingham County Fair


 The end of summer always brings with it the county fair.  This year we had one night where we bought the kids ride bracelets.  In the past we bought a certain amount of tickets and told the kids they could choose one or two rides for the whole night.
 This year with the bracelets they could go on as many rides as they wanted, and they could go on the rides as many times as they wanted.  This huge slide that you see them coming down, they went on that ride at least 5 times.  I think they enjoyed having a bit more freedom with the rides this year.
 Just like in the past, we entered a few things in the fair to be judged.  Glen baked some chocolate chip cookies.  He got second place!
 Grace entered a painting (seen above) and got second place, two photos and got second and third place, a pot holder and got second, and some cheesecake cookie bars but she did not place with those.
I also entered a drawing that I had made of Grace and Glen sitting on the word love, drawn on the dicitionary page that has the word love on it.  I got second!

The fair is always a nice way to end a great summer and get ready for school to start.
