Some of you have heard this story…but its too cute to not share with the blogging community.

We were leaving the Bremer County fair last Thursday night and saw multiple children leaving with animals. The scrambles were that night, and these children were apparently among the “fortunate” ones to catch an animal to take home.

We were talking about catching these animals and told Ellie that maybe when she was older, she’d be able to catch a rabbit, or a chicken, or some other farm animal (heaven knows what I’d do with it if in fact she did ever catch one).  She thought about it for a minute and then asked me very seriously “do they fall from the sky, mommy?” 

Logical, yes…but apparently we have some explaining to do when it comes to county fair traditions.

Can you imagine…farm animals falling from the sky!?!
