Annual State Fair Fun

The State Fair is an event that the whole family looks forward to every year.  At the beginning of summer, the girls are already asking when they get to go to the fair! This was was the first year we took a day off of work and went during the week.  It was a HOT day so luckily it wasn’t too crowded.  This is definitely the way to go and I am pretty sure we will make this our annual tradition going forward.
We did all the usual things…food, barns, food, skyway ride, food, walking, big slide and more food!!  Brian got his favorite mashed potatoes on a stick (they are delish!!), I tried some oven fired pizza from Blue Moon which is now a new favorite plus I had to have my old favorite The Fudge Puppy!  The kids never eat as much as we do. They stuck to hot dogs, pickles and shared a corn. Much fun was had by everyone and sadly we have to now wait another year before we can do it all over again! (Next year we will try to not lock us out of the house before we leave and not to get a parking ticket!)
Oh, and yes Brian and I had our annual date night this year.  BIG bummer that Pinball on a Stick is no longer there but there were still three machines for us to play.  What a romantic date huh!

James pointing at the silly roosters.  He was hilarious in the barns!

Kate was by far the bravest when it came to touching any animals.

Watching a butter carving contest.  Not very exciting!

Gotta get a family shot!

PICKLES, their favorite!

Annie mastered the flip on the tramp this year!

Kate having fun too! She is a pro at the back flip but didn’t master the front flip yet.  Maybe next year!

Like Father, Like Son! Loving the fries with vinegar!

All the kiddos posing for a pic!

The Big Slide…a LOVE of everyone!!! To bad it costs $10 for our family to go one time!

Can’t wait for next year!
