In August, we went to the cabin again. At the beginning of this trip, some of us were a little sick. We didn't get tested for covid, so to play it safe, we didn't have anyone go up there with us.
After a few days, everyone was feeling better. The Afton County Fair was in town, so we decided to check it out.
We decided to go out to dinner first. As we walked down Main Street, all the restaurants were closed with signs saying the employees were at the fair. We should have taken this as a sign to just go eat at the fair. But we found one Mexican restaurant that was still open. We got seated and place our orders. After which we realized that the whole restaurant was being run by one guy. He seated people, was the waiter, and the cook. We waited for our food FOREVER! Tons of other people came in, waited 10 minutes to be seated, and then turned around and left because the guy never came. We were tempted to walk out and leave because it took so long, but felt bad because he was working on our order. I think we waited over an hour for our food. The kids were really good through the whole thing, so I let them get something from the gumball machine.
Then we went to the fair. We bought individual tickets because the wristbands were kind-of expensive. Fortunately the people were nice and would let our whole family ride for the number of tickets required.
There was an elephant you could ride. I've always wanted to ride an elephant, so we couldn't pass up this opportunity to let the kids ride.
Then we went and looked at some animals. Lots of the sheep were wearing ugly onesies.
Sophie wanted to go look for horses, so she and Isaac left. I took the kids back to the fair and we watched a fire show by "Zor the Fire God" (or something like that). It was actually pretty good.
Then we were all thirsty and got a huge jug of swizz. Hazel was hogging it and would scream if anyone else tried to get a drink. She is mean, but it was funny.
