We headed out to a small county fair today, and although the actual temperature was a modest 95 degrees, with the humidity and in the sun our estimate of the heat index was a little more like 150. But we had a good time; we saw livestock, we made friends with the Democrats and stonewalled the pro-life booth guy (turns out a very pointed and icy "Don't start with me," is pretty effective, especially since I am a good six inches taller than Vocal Prolife Guy.)
For his part, Peter discovered corndogs, of which he wholeheartedly approves, and for the first time I could kind of see the point - it's a hotdog, with bun-like feature, *on a stick* so you don't have to use both hands to eat it. Gracie got a dolphin painted on her arm, which was fun and apparently proves pretty lucrative for the professional clown (!) who ran the booth.
Gracie also ran in a little footrace in the stadium, and she had a good time, and it convinced her that she does want me to sign her up for the one-mile kid run in the upcoming 5K that I'm doing, even though it's a Mud Run which involves a big pit of mud and, apparently, obstacles, and is less for speed than for - fun? Can't wait to post the photos of that.
