This year we took Trafton to the fair twice. We explored the fair more than we usually do - we have only been going for maybe the past five years or so and usually we just go a couple times in the evening to eat our favorites for dinner. It was tons of fun and I found two new favorite things to eat - wings and beef & cheddar sandwiches! We even made our way to the Barton house - just one of the places I have never been to at the fair.

This year we plan to start our tradition of getting a real Christmas tree. In some years passed, we have spent many days on the road visiting family and friends and I have always been afraid of leaving a real tree to dry out for such a long time. This year we plan to be at home more, so a real tree it is! We talked to the gentleman from this tree farm and smelled the different trees to find a kind we liked. Daniel worked on a tree farm in New Jersey for many years in high school and college, so this will be great!
There is a small horse here during the daytime hours that you can have your picture taken with, but it was getting late at this point - I just wanted the sign in the background anyway :)
Homemade ice cream!
Trafton did great in his Cadillac Carriage!
But at this point, he had just had enough! Time to go home :)
