The Lake County Fair

Craig, Kendra and Emerson arrived on our scene Thursday night after they attended the White Sox game. Yesterday, Kendra and I hung out and Ken and Craig went to Sandy Pines to golf. I think it was the first time this father/son-in-law team golfed together. From the sounds of things, they had a good time and came away with similar scores. After dinner, we all went to Lake County Fair to introduce Emerson to the animals. Kendra said she didn't want to look at anything displayed that wasn't an animal so we walked through the cows, horses, sheep, pigs, goats, chicken, geese,turkeys, pigeons and last but certainly not least, the rabbits. Before we arrived, Kendra voiced her desire to see the bunnies. When we went to the rabbit house, the sign over the door said, "pigeons". We surmised the rabbits had been moved from their prior and historic spot. When we had run the gamut of animals of every sort but no rabbits we asked. They were in with the pigeons, so back to the pigeon building we went. I think it went without saying that Kendra was more delighted with the rabbits than Emerson but as Grandpa said, "Wait til next year, she will be very excited to see them when she gets a bit older." There were some cool rabbits for sale so it wasn't long before Isaiah sidled up next to me and said, "Grandma???????????" My heart longed to fulfill his wish but I reminded him that we were going into winter and a better time to add a rabbit to your responsibilities is the spring so we left the rabbits in their cages.
