going to the fair ....

... with these little guys:


One of my girls is a 4-H'er with her cavies (guinea pigs) 
and we'll be at the fair for the next few days.
I promise to have lots of fun pictures of country life from our very old fashioned fair.
When we were down there today for pre-fair stuff, 
we saw lots of cows, geese, ducks, chickens, goats, etc. 
all being brought to fair in their varying degrees of pick-up truck apparatus.
We saw a bumper sticker:
"Beef - it's what's for dinner"
It made my girl sad.
That's why we do cavies.
They're only for dinner in Peru.

These are adorable little creatures. I have to admit. That bumper sticker is SO prevalent where I live in beef country. That's also why it's so hard to be a vegetarian in a state that makes its living slaughtering cattle.

have a fun time at the fair.

How adorable!!!! Those sweet little faces made my day! I remember taking our kids to the little fair in town when they were small. We always enjoyed seeing the animals - rabbits seemed to be a fave. Have a super time and take a bunch of pics! Hugs, Terri xoxo
