Fair Day!

Today we got to visit the State Fair. It could not have been a more perfect day for it. Beautiful weather, abundant sunshine and both grandmas came, too. Here we are right after we got there this morning.

The first ride that Jackson and Clare went on was the great big carousel. It was cool,

but Jackson had his sights set on bigger things. He had been talking about the ferris wheel for days and spotted it as we exited the highway. You can see how enamored he was with it--no chance of taking his eyes off of it.

So we got in line and took our turn on the ferris wheel--it was really cool. We even saw Dad's office and waved hi to him:)

Then it was off to the midway! First stop--motorcycles!

Then a little boat ride.

Followed by some race car driving

And some log riding, too.

After all that fun, we headed out in search of the ever-so-scrumptious Fletcher's Corny Dogs. They were everything I'd hoped for and more. Even sir pick-pick (aka Jackson) shared one with me. After lunch we caught the dog show (so cute and really nice to sit inside for 20 minutes) and then went to the petting zoo. There were a ton of really neat animals. Here are some of our faves. Jackson loved meeting Bevo's cousin. Go Horns!


and of course, he got to feed some goats.

He even got to get up close and personal with a camel

and check out an ostrich.

His favorite, though, was getting to pet the piglets.

We all had such a great time and cannot wait to go back again next year!
