It&#8217;s true what they say when it comes to parenting, don&#8217;t blink!

And with no actual county fairs being held this summer due to covid, the theme for this party seemed like a great fit to get our sought after fair fix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3991\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/index.php\/2020\/11\/06\/a-birthday-at-the-fair\/img_5464\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?fit=1707%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1707,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 1300D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1592506084&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;27&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"county fair party sign\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3991\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C900&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5464-scaled.jpg?w=1707&amp;ssl=1 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We celebrated with classic fair foods like corn dogs, soft pretzels, farm fresh veggies and fruit.
