We went to the State Fair on Saturday. We went the second to last day it was open - and it was a Saturday. It was pretty busy, but we went as soon as it opened and it wasn't that bad at all! I was fortunate enough to score us some free tickets as well! [the fair is EXPENSIVE but they have lots of discount days, none of which happen to be Saturday, which is the only day we could go - bummer....] I met a new friend at the playground [a friend of a friend] and we ended up talking about the fair and she offered me her extra tickets that they got through her husband's work! How sweet is that!? I was so grateful!
Riding the "Choo choo train" down to the fair
One of Evette's favorite parts of the fair was the automobile section. We let her sit in all sorts of vehicles and pretend to drive them. She LOVES cars and was in heaven running around from one car to the next.
Big Tex!
Corny Dogs! Delicious!!
We packed a lunch and some snacks so we only bought novelty snacks here and there and didn't have to spend a fortune and wait in line forever with a cranky baby. She ate grapes while in line for the funnel cakes so.... healthy and happy, right?
We rode on the Ferris Wheel!
And Evette LOVED this car ride. I told you she loves cars. She was in heaven! I was a little bit nervous about how she would do, but she was laughing the whole time - huge fan. She was BARELY tall enough to ride by herself and she rocked it. She's fearless!
And of course, a carousal!
We also went to the children's petting zoo.
Corn on the cob - delicious!
Saw some shows like the BMX Bike show
The celtic rock band...
This year we also took a look at some of the arts and crafts, photography, paintings, and food competitions. It was really fun!
Evette was in an interesting mood that day - a little bit cranky the whole day, but it was never bad. Overall it was a great day. We saw a lot of fun things, ate a lot of fun things, did a lot of fun things. It was a great family date!
wish we could have been there with you. . . Next year!
