Poultry Days 2015

I can best summarize Poultry Days this year as HOT!  It was so humid and muggy on Saturday and Sunday that it was difficult for the kids (and mom) to have a good time.  It was also rainy throughout the weekend.  But, we made the most of it and enjoyed the memories of Vince's 1st Poultry Days.

Grammy and Papa left this surprise for Vera prior to Poultry Days.

Vince devoured puffs and other snacks during the parade.  He was hot in his stroller, but did well as long as he had action to watch.  Some of the sirens and loud race cars scared him a little, but he was ok if someone held him.

Vera, as usual, was very passive during the parade.  She mostly stood back and waited her turn to pick up the candy and other handouts.  She, too, was hot, but was a trooper.

 After the parade, we made our way to the rides.  Vera and Bailey were really excited, but eventually split up because Vera's level of bravery compared to Bailey are quite different.  Vera said her favorite rides were the cars and the merry-go-round.

The rides lasted for about an hour or so until we gave up.  It was much too hot, and Vince and mom had enough.  We got our chicken dinners to go, and headed for home in the AC.  The thermometer said 90 degrees when we got home around 2:30.  We ventured back on Sunday and checked out the petting zoo and race cars.  Of course, we had chicken one more time, and then headed for home.  Until next year...
