Norah and her reindeer
Too much fun!
Love those mini donuts!
It's always best when the cotton candy is as big as you
Post fair crash
Dennis and I used to go the State Fair every year...until we had kids. This year, we decided they were old enough to take it all in, and so we ventured out as a way to close the summer. Apparently, everyone else had the same idea, because when we arrived at 11:00, the parking lot was full, and by noon, they were turning away visitors because the fair was already at maximum capacity. The kids joined us in our favorite fair activity - eating!! Sully loved the mini donuts, Finn loved the fried cheese curds, Norah loved the salted nut roll. The kids liked the barn with all the pregnant animals, although that did spur a talk about how babies are born and where they come from. I guess you take some of that knowledge for granted when you grow up on a farm! We all got a kick out of the livestock - especially when a pig got out of his pen and ran loose. We also took in Bill Reilly's talent show so Norah could watch the girls in pretty dresses perform. By then, our kids were maxed out, so we cut out earlier then we had planned, but it was okay, because we avoided the "too tired meltdown". I think the State Fair will be come one of our annual trips. Hopefully, we will be able to see a bit more of the fair each year. Dennis is already itching to put the kids on mullet patrol...
