The State Fair

We went to the State Fair on Sept. 4th. My mom and the kids came up to spend the day for her birthday. We had so much fun. The kids favorite part is going to the Little Hands on the Farm. It is the section that is sponsored by FHA. They get to go through all the processes of the farm. Skyler thought that milking the cow was really fun. He laughed when the water hit the pail. He also enjoyed gathering eggs from the cope (though it wasn't quite as exciting as moving the real chickens out of the way to gather eggs on Uncle Isaac's farm!) Alexis and Domenic think that it is great and look forward to picking out their treat at the very end. Domenic called out to Dad "Dad, I'll meet you at the mall!", which was the very end of the exhibit where you can use the play money that they give you to buy your treat.

It was exciting to see my pictures on display. I didn't win anything, but there is always next year!

The big slide is also a favorite. Even Skyler got into it. He thought that it was great when he and David went flying down the slide. Alexis decided that she wanted to go down by herself this year! What a crazy little dare devil. Domenic went down with Jennifer and giggled the entire time.

We were all tired and ready to go home when we came across the Tigers of India show just before it was about to start. It was so Awesome! They had 7 full grown Bengal Tigers in 4 different color patterns. It was so beautiful and fascinating to watch them. Domenic was in jungle animal paradise. He was captivated. We watched until I couldn't hold him on my shoulders for any longer.

On our way out we ran into the Monster Truck, Martial Law. Brandon and the kids were so excited! They got to climb up into the cock pit and Brandon got his picture with the driver, yes that girl is the driver. I think it was the highlight of their evening. All in all the fair was great times, great times!
