excited about school this year, but they were both very nervous. Missy had a few of the same
Matt took a week off from work before the snow starts to fall, so he went to the State Fair with us this year. He hadn't been in years, I was able to get Lacey and Destiny to go the same day also. We decided to go on Thursday the 1st. A boy band that the girls like was playing a free concert. 
We did all the free stuff, the displays, and we walked through the train again. Destiny loved it she couldn't believe that people used to ride in them and not cars. While we were there we watched a man climb up a tall ladder, and jump off to dive in a pool below.On his way down he did 5 or 6 flips before hitting the water. After that the girls wanted to see the smallest horse in the world. Destiny was so excited, she thought it was going to fit in her hand. 
The picture of the girls sitting on the hay was taken right after seeing the horse. My to girls had seen it the year before so they knew what to expect. This was the first time Destiny had ever seen it and to say she was mad is an understatement. After walking around for several hours we got a bit to eat and went to where the band was playing. It was arm to arm moms and dads. After standing there for an hour the band started and we had to put the girls on our shoulder to even be able to see. They had a blast, we stood there for 5 or 6 songs then walked over to one of the screens so the kids could see. they danced for 3 more songs then it was over. The girls were so happy they got to go to the concert. They where even convinced that 1 of the guys waved right at them!
This year Matt made Missy's costume all by himself. He cut the fabric, measured, and even used my sewing machine! Missy went as Jake the dog and Hailey went as Finn the human. They are characters from a show Matt and the girls watch.
