Happy Together: Williamson County Fair

We went to Tennessee for the first wknd in August to see the Hough side of the family and to check out the Williamson County Fair. It was great! We had lots of fun taking Henry through the kid section which was SO well done. The cousins loved it, too! As I look through these pictures, though, I'm realizing that I don't think I did a very good job of photographing it all. Henry loved it, but he is so solemn in every photo. He was taking his job VERY seriously and was very into the whole thing. He just wanted to be left alone-he was a busy worker!

We played a family baseball game, and Henry had fun trying to bat. Every time he would swing it, he would make a "swish!" noise with his mouth. Good sound effects! He actually had decent form, too.

Grandpa lead us through the fair. Henry got to sit on a lazy show cow!

Here we are in front of the show area.

This is the entrance to the kid area. Each kid got an apron and a basket.

Next, they had to scoop corn into a baggie to feed the animals.

They left their corn with the chickens in exchange for an egg.

Then they went to the orchard and picked an apple.

Next they went to the pond and each "caught" a fish to put in their basket.

After this, the went to the garden to plant some seeds.

Planting the seeds-AKA playing in the dirt-was Henry's favorite part I think!

Then he got to pick the veggies he'd help plant-tomatoes, potatoes...

and peppers!

Here's the crew of hard workers!

We gave our seeds to the cows to get some milk. Last, we took all of the wares from our basket to sell at market in exchange for some money.

Then we took our money to the store to make a purchase-kids could pick from animal crackers, apples, milk, or ice cream sandwiches. Henry kept saying, "apple, apple!" so that was his choice!
