Fall fair fun

On October 8th, we headed to the Topsfield Fair with our friends Amanda and Jackson. Jon and I had pondered going, but were scared to brave the mayhem on the weekends, so I was excited when Amanda invited us along that Thursday. We enjoyed minimal crowds and an absolutely gorgeous fall day. We all had a blast and what had been planned to be a two-hour visit wound up being a whole day affair.

Every time we entered a new animal barn, Sylvie let out squeals of excitement.
