Cochise County Fair!

We visited the Cochise County Fair in Douglas, AZ. The kids absolutely loved it. We saw bunnies, chickens, sheep, goats, animals that I could not tell whether they were sheep or goats, pigs, cows, and even some horses!

Also, there was a decent Johnny Cash cover band playing that the kids were dancing around to.

And the kids got to ride on a carnival ride, a train going around in circles.

But their favorite part was attending the rodeo and watching cowboys run out on horses and fell calves with rope.

Sarah (at rodeo): I wanna leave! Let's go somewhere else!

Sarah (the next morning): My favorite part was when the horses ran out and they threw the rope around the cow's feet and it fell down!

Stephen: Run! Run! Run!

Yep, The Money Spent On Those

Was Pretty Much Wasted

We couldn't help but compare it to our "home" fair, the Great Geauga County Fair. It was much smaller and there were no tractors, but it was still a ton of fun, especially for the kids.

One favorite memory was when Stephen was getting sleepy and glazed-eyed, and I asked him if he wanted to to see some tractors. He bounced back to full strength so fully and so instantly and with such enthusiasm in his eye that it made me laugh. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there turned out to be no tractors, but we did get to see plenty of other exciting things.
