I signed London up for ballet through the city recreation center a while back.  Her culminating performance was on Friday at the county fair.  It’s funny to watch these little kids dance.  London just looks around, wondering what she should be doing and I’ll have to say, she’s not the most coordinated of the bunch.  I guess that’s what practice is for.  But since you already saw (if you checked out my blog about London’s previous dance performance and clicked on the video link) the real dance, you’re in for a treat today.  After London finished her dance, she hung out under the bleachers, dancing more.  She’s definitely a freestyle dancer.  I love the moves she comes up with!  Check out the video here.  I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

After the dancing fun, we walked around the rest of the fair.  Ashton loved the animals.  He wouldn’t stop mooing.  My favorite exhibit was the wood-working exhibit.  There were some amazing things that were made.  There were even some shops set up where we could watch wood-workers at work.  One of the wood-workers showed London how to use this cool band or maybe scroll saw that was powered by pedals.  He told her to remember the words, “pedal power” and gave her a wooden alligator for her to paint at home.

This pedal car was so cool! It was pulling a trailer with all sorts of things like a surfboard, skateboard, BBQ, etc. It was so detail oriented.

What would the fair be without nasty fried food?  I couldn’t help but take a picture of this place selling chocolate covered bacon and deep fried butter.

Yes, folks, this was real.

NASTY!!!  Just thinking about it makes me want to heave.  And speaking of butter, we saw a really cool butter sculpture.

I wonder how many batches of cookies one could make with that much butter.
