Cumberland County Fair

The weather has been beautiful here.  Saturday was so nice and I did not want it to go to waste so we headed off to the Cumberland County Fair.  This is a small fair it makes the Midstate Fair look huge especially their livestock section.
Here are the men of my life
We saw the livestock section and this beauty caught my eye.  I want a chicken like this. It looks so funny I mean you can't see any of its face just its beak.  I loved it. Oh and I think this was a rooster.
Wow can you say UGLY.  Look at how scary that face is.  I feel that he is ready for Halloween, however i do think his body is pretty
So maybe this is mean, yeah I'm pretty sure it is but Jesse and I were just so shocked and disgusted at the same time.  First off I don't think anyone should wear spandex especially overweight people. So this lady is wearing spandex that really don't fit, then on top of that he had a corn on the cob in one hand and totally chowing down on it, then she had something else in her other hand, food under one arm and a huge drink under the other arm, and to top it off corn all over her face.  I'm still not sure what to think about this
This was a booth at the fair, I thought it deserved a picture because it was pretty ridiculous and we actually saw people going up to pay to go look through the window.
We couldn't pass up the opportunity to try to win fish....I didn't win any
Then we watched this show called the Star Family Circus, wow it was sad. I mean the guy walking on this thing was pretty impressive while it moved.  It was pretty high in the air
But then the guys wife did a dog show and it was ridiculous. She had dogs jumping over 2 foot hurdles.  Then the daughter did some hula hooping and then they rode motorcycles in a round ball. cage thing.  Anyways we just stood there and Jesse made the comment that it was like watching a really bad movie but it was live so it was so much better
Kade went on his first fair ride.  Someone gave us 3 free ride tickets so we decided to take Kade on a ride.  Pretty funny because I don't think he cared.  Jesse said that he cried every time it went in the sun and just sat there and chewed on his hand.
I think he was more interested in his hand then anything else
I had Jesse take a picture of me and Kade so I could actually be in a picture.  Yes I got my hair cut last Friday.  I like having it short except it is doing a big poof thing, I should be used to it by now.  Then as I was posting this picture I noticed the ladies hair that is in the picture.  I think I must have triple the amount of hair that she does.
The fair was fun and it was nice to get out of the house and go do something that we don't normally do.  Friday Kade had his baby well check up and he weighs 16.7 lbs and is 25.9 inches long.  He is getting sooo big but I think he is very well proportioned.
