Happiness is....the State Fair!

Well, we did it. This year I decided to take the kiddos to the State Fair. Although we spent a darn $40 and only got in, ate, and both girls got a simple face painting it was great fun. No rides for us as the midway is a scary place...thank goodness my kids feel the same way (even Alec.) We took in all the exhibits and loved the McDonald's Farm (but don't eat at McDonald's...yuck!) We also got to dance with the Aztec dancers...a friendship/peace dance. Evie loved the horses and the Aztec dancers. Becca enjoyed the farm and the dancers. Alec, of course, just loved missing school:0)
Although we didn't stuff our mouths with cotton candy and carry around enormous turkey legs I kept thinking of Templeton the rat on Charlotte's Web running around in delight at all the food everywhere. I love that movie so we are watching it tonight!
It was a fun day for us all and nice to spend it together...we missed Ted though. He has grades due soon so spent the day working.
Here are some pictures...Enjoy!

Evie was so patient getting her face done.


She's a natural...just give her a lasso!

a tractor ride...for a 3 year old
I wanted one of these tractors but the lady said they are $300
I change my mind pretty quick...but they ARE cute!

He doesn't quite fit...but he's still cute!

Check out those faces!
