We couldn't let summer slip on by without going to the State Fair as a family. After debating whether to take a stroller or not, we decided it was best to do so, and minus getting the giant double stroller on and off the bus, we didn't regret it.
James and Henry did great at the Fair. James enjoyed his first "ride" on the Ferris wheel with the boys. He wasn't too sure about it, but once they got going he really liked it.
James and Elliot also participated in the Little Farms Hands barn. They drove tractors, planted seeds and picked apples all before selling it at the "farmer's market" and getting some "money" for their goods to purchase something at the store. What did James' pick out? Dill Pickle flavored potato chips - go figure? Guess his tastes have expanded beyond Cheerios since last year, huh?
Henry dozed off and on most of the day and just took in the sights - he really is so easy going that he didn't mind the view from the stroller.
We shared lots of eats - ice cream, cookies, corn and cheese curds - and James liked them all! Good thing this is just a once a year activity!
Before we left we took a walk through the Miracle of Birth Barn so James could see all sorts of animals in one barn rather than traversing through all the separate barns. He loved seeing the cows and baby chicks and kept asked where the pigs were. He remembered petting one last year, but instead of a pig he got a chance to pet a lamb this year. Thank you swine flu :)
It was a fun day at the Fair with the family and friends - we'll look forward to closing out next summer doing much of the same. Some traditions are just meant to be!
