Allegan County Fair 2009

Jacob rode all by himself on a couple of rides this year. He's in the last truck on your left.


And the train - doesn't he just look like a natural? And the carnie's belly, well, that's just a plus for you!


He got to pet a baby bunny.

And "baaaa!" at some sheep. He was really excited to see a cow pee but, I didn't take any pictures. I seem to recall him saying, "That's alotta pee!".


And the tractor pulls - this guy wasn't the winner of the modified farm style but, his picture had the best smoke!


Jacob with his "ears on" eating popcorn.


'After Hours' - the winner of the truck pulls.


And the winner of the modified tractors. (Notice the white in the botton corner? Yeah, that old dude's head is in every. single. one. of my pictures!)


Of course, the Ferris wheel at night. We rode earlier. Jacob loved it - I thought I was gonna hurl. Have I mentioned - I HATE heights! And they stopped us at the TOP! Twice!

We didn't get our tradional picture with George on the Allegan Fire District truck - matter of fact we didn't see any of the 'fighter-fighters' until the tractor pulls and they were all in gear and on the track in case of an emergency. We did see plenty of Sheriff's reserves - Jacob got a sticker. We got a high-five from Mel and the Allegan City Police. Jacob got to sit in the police's golf cart AND he got to go in the ambulance. I had the camera and was waiting for them to come back from the bathroom so, I didn't get pictures of ANY of it! We also got to see the Sheriff's mounted patrol on our way home! Oooh! Their horses are beau-ti-ful!

  1. OMG, this post cracks me up! I'm kinda disappointed about not getting to see a cow pee picture, but I'll take what I can get and the carnie's belly is a close 2nd :) Also, I wouldn't have noticed that old dudes head, but now that I see it, it is pretty funny!

    I just love fairs. Looks like you guys had a good time.
