One of our summer traditions is to take the girls to the Ottawa County Fair for an evening of down-home 4H fun. Every July, the carni comes strolling into town setting up their barely put-together rides and begging for children to come for a twirl or two. Beatrice and Sylvie along with their cousins, Sarah and Rachel, spend a night hopping from one cheesy ride to the next. (The wristband with unlimited ride access is a good investment for this crowd!) Sylvie was disappointed to be too small to ride so Haans took her to see the farm animals and sit upon a tractor which she enjoyed equally as well. We all leave with dirty feet, a bit nauseous from the rides, a bit frightened from the ride attendents and most importantly, feeling complete that we crossed another one of our traditions off our list for another year.
