Barnstable County Fair

 A billion little crabs...

These are some pictures of Rowan and me last Wednesday at Sampson's Island. We had the whole island to ourselves! We saw a billion little fiddler  crabs and it was so amazing to see them move so quickly into the beach grass. They were really loud, too.  We had a blast together.  

Last Thursday Dad, Dave, Josh, Caleb, Sarah, Sarah MacDonald, and I went to the Barnstable County Fair!  We saw a bunch of different animals and Sarah and I rode a camel!  It rocked back and forth with every step. : ) 

Here's pictures of all the animals we saw. 

 Kangaroos

 Cows

 Box Turtles

Sheep

 Bob Cat

Baby goat

 Beautiful horse with lamas.

 Funny monkey.

 I think this is a goat.  Dave and Sarah were feeding it.

400 hundred pound piggy. 

  It's a crocodile.

And some parrots.  Looking at the animals was a lot of fun and you could feed some of them but I would never do that.  You don't know what kind of germs and diseases they spread.  

We arrived at the fair at around 6 and left at 10:30.  After looking at the animal's pens we went to get some fried dough, which is very, very unhealthy, but delicious, food.  : )

 I also bought a dress made in India and some earrings from one of the vender's tents.  

 This is the dress. For some reason the picture is side ways...  When my mom saw this picture, she thought I had been raptured!!  LOL

And these are the earrings I bought.  

After eating, we headed to the midway aka where all the rides are. 

There were lines for every ride, so we had to wait 5 to 10 minutes every time.  Sarah and Dave went on the first ride, the Polar Express, which is a very loud ride!  The second ride Josh, Sarah, and I went on which was the Sizzler.  Sarah and I crushed Josh on that one, because he took the out side seat and we were thrown to the out side, therefore banging into Josh's side.  I always go on that ride, every year!

 Sarah McD and I on the Orbiter

Behind them is the Orbiter.  It rises in the air and spins you really fast.

Josh, Caleb and I.  Caleb not feeling too good about the ride, ( Pharaoh's Fury.)  That one was funny because Caleb was told that the ride doesn't give you the "sinking feeling" well, ha-ha it kinda does.  As soon as the ride started going up higher and higher he started freaking out and was having seizures.  He ended up passing out sometime in the middle of the ride.  He was fine as soon as he got off though.  ; )

Those are all the pictures!

Last week Dave and I went golfing.  It was my first time ever on a real golf course.  My first few swings, I missed the golf ball entirely.  I was just hitting up wads of dirt and moss.   It took me a while to get the hang of it.  We played an 18 hole game.  I really enjoyed it and would love to continue the sport.  Last night, ( Friday night) Caleb, Dave, Sarah MacDonald, and I went to the movies to see Cowboys and Aliens.  I loved it!  I'm pretty sure I jumped out of my seat for a couple of suspenseful scenes, and for some unexpected scenes, too.  : )

Some random photos...

Sarah snoozing..

That's just about it.  Nothing else to write about.
