Arlington County Fair

This weekend is Arlington's county fair. We've been very excited about it, though we strongly leaned toward not going today because we thought it would be too hot and we'd have trouble finding parking. It was kind of hot but we found a spot easily so we took it as a sign. Besides, it's easy to beat the heat with some lemonade (and funnel cake):

Our county is totally urban, but they cart in animals from another county. So Georgie was able to get her first pony ride. It's good timing, because lately she's constantly hopping up on my legs and saying, "Horsie, horsie." So it was time to see what a real horse was like. I think she prefers the papa horse though.

She was definitely apprehensive at first.

But got into it a little bit.

But about halfway through her ride she said "off," so that was that. She's got some work to do to catch up with her Arizona cousins.

Then we went to the midway, where Georgie and I picked a shark fishing game. My dad and brother recently went shark fishing and caught a shark each. Well, I caught two. I had a really good fishing helper though.

We were able to trade our two sharks in for a yellow seahorse.

Then we went to the petting zoo, where we saw a goat kid.

Which Georgie lunged for.

I think we are looking at ducks here.

Nikki wouldn't come on the Ferris wheel so I instead took Georgie down this giant slide.
