Farming at the fair

Me, Jay and Parker went to Wilson County Fair on Monday night. They had a tent set up called "farmer for a day" where there were several farming activities set up and people there to show the kids what to do. Parker loved it!

Check out his cow milking technique!

He was pretty good at gathering eggs, too. You can't see in the pic but they gave him a bucket to gather eggs in and he had to check under all of the chicken nests.
This was just a big chicken they set up and when they hit a button it would cackle and lay big, bright colored eggs. He couldn't give them back to the lady fast enough so that she could make the chicken lay the eggs again. Luckily there was a potato pit to distract him.

This next pic is Parker digging potatoes. Turns out he's a pretty good potato digger.

Digging potatoes is a lot of fun, I think we found EVERY potato in the potato digging pit. :)

That looks like a great place to play!
I saw on the news they had to close the fair tonight because of the rain.
