Dwight and I and Jon Felipe walked over to the fair tonight (Maria went with her girlfriends this afternoon). What fun!
Dwight is judging the working exhibits at the fair tomorrow, but tonight he was sort of wishing he had been asked to judge the pie entries.
I was explaining to Jon Felipe about "the little house behind the big house" as my grandmother always used to say.
A little chainsaw carving.
Pigs being shown.
Jon Felipe is not familiar with many farm animals, but he does know horses, cows and pigs. We're working on sheep, goats, chickens, and roosters.
He really like the cows
JF singing a song in Spanish about a cow who has milk and says, "moo." As you can see, the cows were very impressed with his song.
These tractors were enormous.
My favorite funny of the evening was when we were looking at a display of prize winning eggs. I asked Jon Felipe if he knew which animal the eggs came from and he said, "chickens and bunnies." I have no idea where that came from, but in his defense the chickens were in the same barn as the rabbits.

The fair we go to is in Sept... We love the fair...I really like the cows too...and my kids favorite after the animals are the tractors.. funny to see you all enjoying the same things we do but states away.
ReplyDeleteSee there's lots of neat things to do in Iowa other than just watch the corn grow........JF really looks like he was taking it all in and loving it..........I especially liked the chain saw carvings........how creative
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures, Kath, and American culture confuses the egg origin with all the bunnies at Easter, and then Easter eggs. Why not Easter chickens? Next year Dwight can sign up for pie judging.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! We used to go as kids when we were at the cottage. Those tractors were huge!!
