The Fair Part II

Another fair day, here we come!
Meeting some cows!

Aly thought the horned cow was a goat because they have horns.

Aweee... sort of like me and Saya.

"can I have some fries please?"

Having some fair food for lunch!

Sean was holding Aly's hand while waiting for a car ride. It was cute.

They really had fun on this one.

This was Sean's first semi-scary ride. He didn't cry, but he wasn't laughing, either!

We rode on a choochoo train and the kids loved it.

Well, one thing Mike and I know is to tire ourselves even more so. On last Wednesday, Mike took a day off (thank you Mike's boss) to take Sean to the state fair. Since Amy has to watch three kids, we decided to take Aly, too (lucky girl). The weather was perfect, a sunny and warm, so it was pretty much guaranteed that we are going to have a fabulous day!

And we did. Sean, of course, had no idea what a fair is but he was all about smiles once we got in. At first, we wondered around the exhibits, saw some Native American people in traditional clothing and watched some demonstrations in the market building. Then we hit the barns and saw some cattle and even zebras. Aly loves animals and she was very excited to see more of them. The day before, most of the animals were gone.

We then had a lunch since all the food smells coming from all over the place were making Mike and I very hungry. After filling ourselves, we went to the kiddie zone and Sean and Aly rode on some rides. The kids had a really good time. Sean liked the swing seat thing that goes around the most. Since he liked it so much, I thought he might be ready for a faster spinning ride, but he might have been a little scared. He was with Daddy though and he didn't cry. What a brave boy.

We spent a lot of time in the ride area and we were so tired at the end of the day. But I am glad we did it. Sean was fussing by the exit saying that he didn't want to go home. They both fell asleep on the way home, Sean almost immediately after sitting in the car.
