We went to the County Fair today with a group from the girls' Co-Op school. I really thought I would be fine by myself as we were meeting people there, and we survived, but man am I exhausted. I feel like I walked for three miles pushing 100 pounds up a hill, which I kinda did.
The girls had a great time looking at all the cows, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens. We got to see and touch a bunny Mommy and her new born baby bunny who was about the size of a hamster. The group that went into the birthing stalls actually got to see a baby cow being born, but we missed that.
We hung out with some of our favorite peeps, including Collette, Athena's very best friend at the school.
The girls got their faces painted which should look pretty interesting at soccer practice today.
And then Athena performed on a stage.
I failed to take many pictures, because, well, I had enough to do handling two overexcited little girls and a sleepy baby. Plus we were walking around with Zoe's teacher who took about 1,000 pictures of the girls which I'll post when she downloads them.
John Patrick was a perfect angel. He enjoyed his morning nap on me in the Baby Bjorn and the rest of the time took in the multitude of sights, sounds and smells. He only started to cry when a cow right next to him mooed loudly and scared the crap out of him. Luckily there were many willing hands ready to hold him when I had to take care of the girls. I think he may have even convinced one Mama that she needs another baby.

You do have a tendency to wring every last drop of baby making potential out of nearby ovaries.
