Since being off work for about 2 weeks now, I have quickly discovered that there is much to do during the daytime hours that the girls and I can take advantage of instead of having to wait until the evenings or weekends when everyone else is doing it too. Take for example the McLean County Fair. After breakfast this morning, the girls and I headed over to the fairgrounds and discovered much to do with few people to compete. I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first time I've been to the Fair in the 6 years we've lived here. What a great experience! Fortunately for me, the rides hadn't opened yet so it was a non-issue when walking Avery by them. Instead, we visited many animals, learned all about corn and farming, made a terrarium, played with toy farm machinery in corn, got faces painted, and enjoyed pony rides. Hot, busy morning, but so worth it.
Fun fact: Did you know that McLean County farmers grow more corn and soybeans than any other county in the U.S.?
I didn't know that either but it sure makes me proud to say that I live here.
