4-H Fair

Patrick is really fond of all the 4-H fairs that come to the different counties each summer, as he and his family growing up, went to the Maryland State fair pretty often. We missed the Loudoun Fair this year, but was able to make the Fairfax fair, at Frying Pan Farm Park.

First stop at the fair, was a booth that educated us on ticks and the Lyme disease epidemic in our area. Mommy got wigged out by the live ticks they showed us, but the boys loved it. Micah got tattoos.


A mom is proud of all her kids crafts.
Even the super-sized styrofoam tick. Joy!


They saw honeybees at work.


They got to pet bunnies and baby chicks.
Again, Caelan is not afraid to touch fuzzy animals.


Or big, live, panthers either.


This was the boy's first ride
on the swings.


No vomiting. Hooray!
Caelan was not of height to ride ANY
of the rides, but no one seemed to care.



Since this will be listed under the Things to Do list, please note that if you go to the fair, admission is free, but they charge you $5 per car to park. Also, there is not a cash machine in sight. The local restaurants also pitch a tent, so it's really good food. And the rides will run you about $3-4 a ride per child which could add up. It's a great community thing to do!
