The 4th of July

As is our new tradition, we went to the St. Joseph County Fair on the 4th of July. It was half price day and it was a million degrees by 10am. The Rosses braved the intense heat to join us. 

 Animal Petting area

Do Not pick me up. Does this apply to the chicks or the kids?

There, I touched it. 

 

These hamster, guinea pig, rodent things gave friend "Geirlead" quite a start. He still isn't sure if he wants to get near them.

 Sophs does not like horses.

Yum corn!

Milk, ice cream and grilled cheese. What more could you ask for?

Go ahead ask my brother to say, "mom, where's my corn?" or "I lost my corn".

 Getting lined up for the parade

 The older boys were not interested in the parade until they made a "float".
