| The kids all got to pet a rabbit |
And finally we saw a man douse himself with gasoline, climb up to a tiny step, ignite himself on fire, and leap into a pool.

Topsfield Fair (Part 2)
During the fair we had a homeschool class set up for the children to search for treasure.
They found gemstones and sharks teeth!
They each had a turn squeezing apples with this contraption and extracting the juice.
We saw some old farm tools.
This man serenaded us with his banjo! He sang "America the Beautiful" and had a big smile when we all applauded him.
Jayden wanted me to take a picture of the skulls we saw.
We stopped at a booth and wrote Christmas letters to soldiers who won't be home with their families this holiday season.
There was a sensory bun set up for the kids. They got to dig potatoes out of sand/dirt. Can you guess who did NOT do this activity?
We stopped at a whittler's booth and saw some of his awesome creations.
Caitlin got to pet a taxidermied cat. Yuck.
We saw dead sea creatures and the kids felt them.
We checked out some weapons (Jayden is really interested in guns).
There was also a booth for Curious Creatures set up. We went to a party once where the people from Curious Creatures brought animals. It was cool!
We stopped at the police station.
We paused for snacks.
We saw a lot of different animals.
Needless to say we will be going back again next year!

Field Trip! The Topsfield Fair (1 of 2)
We recently went to the Topsfield Fair. I took nearly 100 pictures so I am breaking this field trip into two posts.
Here are the kids eating lunch and waiting for an elephant show to begin.
The day we went we met Buella, a 44 year old elephant. She played Simon Says with her caretaker.
