Draft horses and drivers compete at pulling vehicles in a wide
variety of harnesses. We all wished we could have seen more of
this, but we were all getting hot and tired. We weren't even
pulling anything, but the sun was getting intense as the day wore on.
|
 |
We promised the kids one ride at the obligatory midway carnival -
most of us went on the floating bumper cars.
|
 |
Lain got stuck in a crowd of parked boats, but had a great time once
he was liberated. Then we went home.
