The Ozark Empire Fair is now going on in Springfield. It always is scheduled for the hottest week of the summer. This year is no disappointment. Papa and Nan went for the first time since moving here 12 years ago. They thought the twins might enjoy... We saw big cows, sheep, the biggest sow in the county and lots of hot, furry rabbits with fans blowing on them... The two above saw these fair keeper chairs in the barn and thought they would plop down. I think they were hot too.
Had a steak sandwich, some "give-away"
chocolate milk from the dairy folks and then got serious about the rides. Papa got the tickets ($3.75 per child per ride) (could have got the all day $25 wristband) and we looked over the offering of rides. Some went too high ... some were too fast. In the end they rode the lady bugs and then race cars and motorcycles. Papa couldn't begin to find enough shade. Spent three
hours and had all the fun a grandpa could want....
Round and round we go. Where we stop -- is when Papa stops buying those expensive ride tickets. May go back next year if I cool off.
