Vermont: And a Country Fair

This is the tale of how a little girl and her mom set off on one fine end-of-summer day to the county fair in Essex. 

Of how we rode rides (that is another story entirely!) and ate chicken fingers and cotton candy...
Of how we watched horses and their riders expertly maneuver an obstacle course....
Of how we watched jugglers and a unicyclist balance a woman on his shoulders....
Of how we saw a giant pumpkin weighing over 1,200 pounds.....
Of how we bought cowboy hats and posed in them....

And then after many hours, collapsed exhausted into the car for our ride back to Starksboro, tired but smiling from all the fun.




And thinking what a perfect way to end our summer vacation.
