Beautiful Summer Day at Windrock
After a fun day hacking through the hunt trails, Mary, Wyatt, Lauren and I took a trip over to the Dutchess County Fair where we visited cows, goats, sheep, pigs and other animals. The birthing center had baby animals of many breeds. We had the famous milk shakes and ate fair food until we were stuffed. Wyatt won a giant banana that he gave to a little boy who was admiring it. It was a fun day at the fair with unusually cool weather. I have never experienced the fair with no sweat and humidity.
