Travel: To Vermont - Tuesday the 10th

Tuesday started off with First and Second Breakfasts, seems to be starting to be a tradition. Then we headed off to the Children's Farmyard at Shelburne Farm. It was such a total blast!

Mini even got to pick up a chicken!!! Then we did lunch on the road followed by naps on the road. We took a quick trip off road for some more blueberries. And we were headed to try to find more cheese making but got sidetracked by a sign for a county fair.
And what a fair it was.

There were cow barns with all the kids competing for 4-H ribbons. A "corn box" to drive trucks in. A kids barn with tons of different things

And PIG RACES!

And all the traditional fair food... Fried Dough or Doughboys depending on who you're talking to, fresh squeezed lemonade, maple cotton candy, and for Mini and Daddy a maple milkshake!

We wore ourselves out with all the fun stuff and then headed back to the hotel once again for burgers and veggies for dinner along with the free cheese and crackers in the lobby of the hotel! And phew what another long and fun day!!!
