Horse show.
Ferris Wheel. Unfortunately for us, the rides were scheduled to open at 4:00pm, however, there was nothing there that would keep us entertained for 2 hours so we didn't get to ride it.
The cow checking out Liam. Just look at his expression...
Pigless resting before the pig races, which we also didn't see because they began at 4:00 p.m.
Dancing fruits and vegetables kiddie show. The only half-entertaining thing we saw in the whole place.
Current and vintage farm equipment show.
1912 International Harvester.
Kay "milking" a cow.
Farm Fair
Back in July I took the kids to the Burlington County Farm Fair. It was a hot and sunny day, but not a god-awful-unbearable hot day like those we have been having due to the heat wave.
After paying $10 for the parking, we headed to the fair. We first encountered the pony rides. The poor things looked like they had seen better days. Needless to say, I didn't fork over $5.00 per-person for a two-minute ride. Kaylie and Liam walked over to the tent that housed the wooden milking cow and the corn toss game. Of course, there were wooden cutouts for the kids to have their photo taken. As always, Liam wasn't interested in posing for photos, but obliged me after some cajoling on my part.
We walked around the farm equipment exhibit for a while, before heading to see the animals. On our way there, we spotted a singing marionettes show for tots. We stopped and watched since this was the only form of entertainment available at the time. Little did we know that this would be the ONLY engaging show!
We went from tent to tent to view the goats, chickens, sheeps, pigeons, cows and rabbits. We saw a big turtle (all by itself) eating lettuce.
On our way to the amusement rides, we stopped by a food concession to buy Italian water ice. Unfortunately for us, the rides were all closed and wouldn't open until 4:00 p.m. We watched the horse show for about 10 minutes, then headed home.
I always looked forward to going to the fair, but was extremely disappointed with the fair this year. I don't think that I will return as neither one of us enjoyed it. 9696
