The State Fair!

I took the girls to the fair today, they had a blast. When we first got there we ran into Barney. Missy thought that was awesome. She wanted her picture done right away. Hailey on the other hand said she was "way to old" to pose for a picture with him. My little Hailey is growing up! After the pictures we walked over to the Masons table. They were giving away child ID cards. Both the girls got their picture, height, weight, and even finger prints done. The local news station had a setup were the girls could pretend to be on TV. They recorded this to a jump drive for me, so cute When we were done there we made our way to the horse show, Missy was so excited. The 3 of us sat there and ate our lunch while we watched the horse jumps. She was a little upset to see them slapping the horses. I tried to tell her that was how they got them to do what they wanted them to do. When we were done there we headed over to the elephant and lion show. That was kind of scary. The lions were very hot and didn't listen very well! On the way to the smallest pony in the world tent the girls came across the hamster ball ride. They begged me to let them go on this. They got inside these huge plastic balls that were filled with air, and had to try and stand up. This was impossible! The girls kept falling all over the place. They stayed in those balls for about 15 minutes. After getting out they splashed some water on there faces and we headed to the train. This was an old train that they had set up for people to walk through. We started out in the first class cabin. A living room full of cozy chairs and couches. Then came the baby's bedroom, adult bedrooms and even a kitchens, All air conditioned of course!


After the first class seating was the regular seating. These seats of course were not air conditioned, and very close together. At the end of the tour came the gift shop. We were roped into buying 3 bottles of ice cold train water, and a patch for Grandpa. We headed home around 6:30pm. The girls and myself were ready to head home. We had a nice time, they came home went up to bed and so far I haven't heard a peep out of them.
