Washington County Fair 2009

On Sunday, July 26, Melissa & Shawn wanted to check out the Washington County Fair. We walked around the fair eating & drinking. Melissa really wanted to go on the ferris wheel, despite her new fear of heights. The previous week, Melissa asked her doctor if she could go on the ferris wheel and after a lot of thinking and debating he gave her permission. After all, the hospital is right across the freeway from the fairgrounds. Melissa got her wish and was very glad that she had. It was a pretty cloudy day and we dodged the rain underneath a food tent. After the brief sprinkle, we watched a tractor pull. We looked very much out of place, but it was entertaining to watch at least once.
