County Fair

We went to the one of the California County Fairs on Saturday, June 19th in Placerville (about an hour from our house). We got there not too long after they opened - and it was a beautiful, cool morning with not too many people there. Here are the boys at a fire safety area - testing out fire extinguishers. They enjoyed spraying the water at the pretend fire.

Jacob really wanted to go on this ride. He is harnassed in - and connected to elastic bands that spring him up as he bounces on a trampoline. Once he got up there - he was not very adventurous - I think the height was getting to him. He gave the operator a work out - they were doing all the work raising him up and down. He had fun - and next time - there will be no stopping him!

Jacob as he is getting into a drum display - in an interactive area.

Jacob was excited for the carnival rides. He got to go on a few - here is him and Jim riding the "Rockin' Tug" - which swung back and forth and spun around. They had fun.

We really enjoyed the county fair - much smaller and less crowded than the state fair. Soon - Levi will be joining his brother on the rides.
