best saturday ever

i love these people

so much

this is america

my sandals are stained with dirt and ketchup and my clothes have yet to air out from the sweaty, barn yard-y, deep fried oreo stench, but it was SO WORTH IT. we spent Sunday at the Howard County Agricultural Fair playing with baby goats, cheering on Little Miss 4-H, shooting water guns, riding the Tornado (MISTAKE 1), settling our stomachs with fried cookies (MISTAKES 2, 3), shopping at the John Deere merchandise barn and keeping cool/making friends with my new hand fan (see below).

i wholeheartedly recommend spending a day at the fair if you are one craving pie eating contests, spinning tea cup rides, stomach aches, petting zoos and general america-ness. it will satisfy.
