a date to the fair

Last night Greg told me he had plans for us to go to the fair.  I didn't even know the fair was in town, so I was so excited that he had found this out and made plans for us to go.  We had so much fun!  I've honestly never been to a state fair, and although this one was small, it was totally worth it!  And I think we can both agree that our favorite part was the petting zoo!  I seriously want some little pygmy goats now :)  (Prepare for photo explosion...)

What would have been awesome was if they had contests, like biggest pig (I'm thinking Charlotte's Web style with ribbons).  And famous homemade pie and jam contests. Now that's how you do a state fair.  But check out this little guy!  He's only 8 weeks old.

Seriously, the animals were the best.  I wanted a picture with the camel, but he kept getting really close to my face and making a loud groaning noise. I was afraid I was about to get spit on!  haha

  I don't think we'll be getting any camels on our future farm one day.  I think I'll stick with the goats and maybe a llama or two.  Or maybe one of these super furry cows!

 

 
I can't handle the cuteness!!  Ok, I promise we did other things besides playing with the farm animals.  We walked around and picked out some rides to do.  We definitely picked a good one.  It swung back and forth like a pendulum while spinning 'round and 'round at the same time.  It was a lot more intense than we expected a fair ride to be!  We also rode the Ferris wheel.  I mean, how do you go to the fair without riding the Ferris wheel, right?

   

 We also got to see 2 different shows, an equestrian show and a "circus-like" show.  They were pretty good.  Nothing super spectacular, but worth sitting for 30 mins to enjoy.  The "circus" show did have a 9 yr. old boy and his 14 yr. old sister who rode little motorcycles in a giant sphere cage.  Apparently they were on America's Got Talent last year.  That was pretty impressive.
