The Hartford Fair

Published by at 5:16 pm under family

A couple of weeks ago, Ally and I went to Croton to pick up Nicholas from grandma and grandpa Price’s house. The 150th year of the Hartford Fair was wrapping up so we got there just in time to enjoy seeing the animals, displays and to get some awesome fair food. Ally wouldn’t go near the cows (too big I think). . . but the goats, sheep and chickens were just her size . . .Nicholas helped her scope out the extra friendly ones that were eager to have someone pet them. She thought that the one goat was going to ‘get’ her so she squealed and turned to Nicholas giggling hysterically. The roosters in the poultry barn were especially noisy and one was consistently crowing every minute or so. Ally waited in anticipation for the next one. . .then would scrunch up her face and giggle. . .when he was done, she said ‘LOUD!” then would settle back against Nicholas again to wait. . . . . . . .I love that picture. . .the way she’s leaning back into Nicholas- it’s funny that it just happened to be taken in the midst of chickens, roosters, ducks and rabbits 🙂

And here is Ally enjoying HER fair food. . .a huge corn dog and fries. We won’t talk about the gyro, fries, and elephant ear that I ate or the numerous strombolies and elephant toes that Nicholas had while at the fair 🙂 YUMMMM
