The Fair

Okay, so it wasn't a real fair. BYU had an end of term campus 'fair' and it was actually quite fun. We only did a few things, but it was all free, so we can't complain.
This is us getting to the fair with our newish bike trailer.
They had a football toss and a basketball hoop thing. We enjoyed just watching others participate in those ones. There was a special needs group there, and they were having a ball with the football toss. It was really fun to watch them. The picture is of the football toss. You tried to get it into the outstretched arms of the 'receiver'!

Our favorite part was the petting zoo. I don't know that I would really call it a 'zoo', it was more of a display of a few reptiles and such. But Isaac really enjoyed petting the hedgehog and the snake. He kept trying to get back to the hedgehog after we were done petting. He kept sticking his hand out towards it. It was cute to watch him.

One of the special needs girls asked if she could hold the snake, and she was told she could hold part of it. So she got to hold the tail. She was thrilled.
The fair also had some water activities which we enjoyed watching rather than doing. It was a big slide down the hill. (above right)
They also had a few other random activities that we passed over. Right before we left we sat and waited for some music, but the band took forever to play, so we eventually left.
All in all it was a fun night out. Isaac had his first taste of cotton candy, which he enjoyed, and he got to pet some animals/reptiles!
