State Fair

We had so much fun. The kids only had a half day of school and I figured we would head straight to the fair, just so we could say we did it. Our wonderful neighbor, Cat, had gone earlier in the day and didn't last long, so she gave us a bunch of ride tickets. When we got there, Eva wanted to hit all the rides, Stella wanted to sit in the stroller and eat popcorn and Mickey was on a mission for this year's junk food attraction - a Krispy Kreme Hamburger.

We ate a bunch of stuff that I never let the kids eat. I basically told them that it's a one time thing (once per year, that is) and that they could each pick out one treat that they wanted. Stella chose cotton candy, Eva - a caramel apple that was rolled in M&Ms, and Mickey got that Krispy Kreme hamburger along with some deep fried oreos. Fabulous.

After the kids played a ton of games and rode a bunch of rides, Stella finally got her second wind and decided she wanted to get out of the stroller to ride one of the rides. She had so much fun, she didn't want to leave. We ended up staying for 6 hours. Not what I had planned, but we had a blast!

Eva's favorite part of the fair was the pink stuffed bear that she one popping balloons with a dart. Stella, the adrenaline junkie, loved the rides. Mickey - goes without saying, the food.

Oh, Eva also milked a cow. She was pretty cute with all of her questions. She was really concerned about hurting the poor cow, but once she got over that part, she did a great job!
