Cow go pee-pee at the Fair

It's one of the most-often-pulled-out-and-used phrases from the "stupid things we said when we were kids" list. Cow go pee-pee at the Fair. Apparently one of us (I can't remember, but let's just say it's Jeanne. Cuz she STILL says weird stuff. And she got to do all the cool things when she was a kid) went to the local 4-H fair with Dad. Upon coming home, Mom asked what Jeanne saw at the Fair. And apparently this was a big deal to her. That she saw a cow, going pee-pee, at the Fair. A momentous occasion.

Anyway, Dex and John and I went to the happenin' Cecil County Fair this morning, to see if we could find any cows. Bonus points if we found cows going pee-pee. Notes: 1) If you go to the Cecil County Fair at 9AM sharp, the admission teenager chicks aren't manning the admission booth yet and you can get in scott free, instead of paying ten bucks. 2) We saw a wide assortment of animals, but Dex went RUNNING across the driveway to see a huge tractor. 3) Yes, yes. We saw a cow going pee-pee at the Fair. And also a pig. Who peed FOREVER. I mean, really. It was insane, the volume of pee that came out of this pig. 4) Goat shows are pretty entertaining to watch. 5) There's a lot of flags at the Fair. And Dex wants to stop to see EVERY ONE of them. 6) Cows going pee-pee at the Fair makes for one VERY VERY tired boy. We might have to do this all week...

For your viewing pleasure: The Cecil County Fair
Hold on, Daddy. I'm watching a cow back there...

Cow petting. MOOOOOOO.

Cows. Fascinating stuff. Also cool - the fans up in the corner of the stalls.

Still with the cows

COW WASH!

Petting a very patient pig

Neither boy seems very impressed with the curious pig who wants to say hi.

Also saw, and was not very impressed with, sheep

Goats, which we eventually got out to pet. And try to poke in the eye.

Went running across the driveway to see this monstrous thing

Tractors! Must. Go. See. Tractors!

The universal sign for "things with wheels"

An excellent morning at the Fair
