~ Our Local Street Fair ~

Last Saturday , Curious J , Little Froggy and I headed out to the local street fair. The weather was gorgeous , perfect for a day of outdoor fun.


The boys stood in line for almost 30 minutes to get a " Ubi " the clown creation. He made them a sword and a helment.


I caught K Gray hoola hooping , looks like he's having fun !


The San-Lee Wildlife Animal Rescue had a display of birds there. That's a Screech owl named " Screech " pictured above , he was sooo cute.


I thought I got a pic of the Great Horned Owl looking at me . But he must have turned his head during the camera delay.


There was a beautiful Red tail hawk .........


and a vulture on display. The birds are brought to the rescue when they are hurt or sick , most are released back into the wild unless there's a reason that they can't be.


The Forestry Service also had a display of stuffed wild animals. It was interesting , there's a huge brown bear behind the coyote with the deer leg.


I didn't get the best pics due to the sun's position , but the red fox was beautiful and look at those ducks.


The bobcat was a beauty .........................


and look at this handsome tom , he's got trouble behind him.



Little Froggy's Dad teaches him to spider fish.

Yep , he's cheating just a wee bit , he took his hand and placed the fishing line down in the trunk (LOL).


He finally got the hang of it and caught about 4 spiders.


The boys bought a fun toy , I don't know what they're called , but I called them a twirly whorlly. They have a spiral shaped rod and a disc that fits on it , when you push the disc up it flies off and spins high up in the air. Curious J lost his disc to a tree before we left the street fair , so we bought him another one on the way out. They've really enjoyed them.


Little Froggy decided he wanted to do a little tree climbing before we went inside once we were home. The boys also got their faces painted at the street fair , Little Froggy choose a rainbow. Curious J got a moon on one cheek and a star on the other cheek , plus a caterpillar on his arm.

We finally made it into the house and settled down , they enjoyed exploring their little treasure boxes they received for spider fishing. It was a fun day , but I was give out and ready for some quiet time too.

  2. Looks like the boys had a blast...I'm hoping Grandma did too? :)

    I can hardly stand to see the wildlife stuffed like that...it breaks my heart! While beautiful to look at them I'd much rather see them alive...

    I'm happy you had a nice fair JoyceAnn!
