Yesterday we were off to the 2001 edition of the Island County Fair. The fair is one of those annual rituals. We go to it every year, eat the same food, see the same exhibits, and get upset when the move an exhibit or anything changes. Sometimes they even have good music. Not this year. It also means we are coming to the end of summer. This year I joined Zoe, Katie, and Mike.

Of course the first stop was eating the corn. Myself on the left and Katie on the right.

And the cats.

Lots of animals and exhibits. Ate food that is bad for us. Chili dogs and elephant ears. Katie came home with a Mexican blanket. My favorite was the flying Jerry Garcia from Indonesia.

We went on the rides. We took Mike on his first ride - the merry-go-round. Unfortunately the memory card from the camera seems to have died and I lost the pictures. Bummer. Katie went on a ride and Zoe and I finished up on the Scrambler. We survived.
