We Love the FAIR!

Oh how I love the fair! I look forward to it every year. Each year watching my child's excitement has been better than the last. We took that exciting trip this summer and this is how it went.

The first thing I wanted to do was get some fair food! We got some of those hot chicken and cheese flat bread sandwiches, Tortado's (they take a whole potato and swirl it with what looks like a drill bit, then they fry it and you can top it with
salt, and spices) It is like a cross b/t fried chips and french fires. Should have taken a picture. We also had State Fair Strawberry Lemonade to top it off.

After dinner we headed over to the country concert. Here are me and our baby at the concert. Ya I got all cowgirled up. I love this hat my college summer roomies got it for me for my 18th birthday. I wore it to the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert the next summer. Look at that boy sucking down the lemonade.

Here is my husband and our boy watching the African Acrobat show. These guys put on a pretty good show.


The 4 x 4 show. Jeeps climbing the rocks. The boys were really excited to watch this one.

We love the Ag tent. They always have lots of fun, free, and educational activities geared toward the kids. Here is the picture board and the bean pool with the tractors.




My husband took our boy over to a big cow and pointed to the udders and told him that is were milk comes from. Look at that face! I am not sure if he is grossed out or just really surprised.


This boy sure loved the petting zoo. We would tell him lets go see more animals and he would quickly hop on the stroller which is rare form for this boy. He loved the fair. When it was time to go he cried all the way to the car. "I want to stay at the fair." I could have stayed later too I love it so much but it was late and daddy was the voice of reason.



Before we could leave I HAD to have dessert. It was a tough decision with funnel cakes, Carmel apples, cotton candy and churros to choose from but I went for a fair favorite the elephant ear. YUMMY!
