On Saturday we woke up in good time and enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel. Brett and the kids went for a quick morning swim. We packed up shortly after that and headed back to the State Fair to spend another fun-packed day.
I am going to post quite a few pictures because it was so hard to pick from the multitude of pictures I snapped. I hope if you didn't make it to the fair this year, you can enjoy it vicariously through us.
Dakota (who joined us at the fair on Saturday aft.) has a brick in front of the Agricultural building He served as one of the FFA state officers in 2008.
Also, Grandma Dodie and Grandpa Bill have a brick in front of the "Ye Old Mill" to commemorate their 50th anniversary!
There was a play area for children that Kylie and Brayden thoroughly enjoyed. One wooden train might have been their favorite as they climbed and ducked in and out of that fun wooden train. Here's Brayden telling an older girl to "WAIT!" for him to climb up the stairs :).
"Look Gwandpa!"
Resting!
Just too cute!
Umm....what's going on here? Are you ready for potty training Brayden? We can start any which way you want!
Colton boo!
We watched a magic show and a cowboy and his horse show.
One of my favorites is the picture exhibit. I could get lost here for h-o-u-r-s!
After a hot day of walking around ice-cream was a refreshing treat!
Saturday morning we went to the "Little hands on the farm" It was an awesome experience- the kids first got aprons, buckets and seeds. Next they planted the seeds after which they gathered the plastic fruits and vegetables and place them in their buckets. They milked a fake cow -Bessie, gathered eggs from the chicken coop, rode miniature tractors, and at the end were awarded fake money to buy something out of the store. They picked ice-cream.
There was a Butterfly House that we enjoyed. I have never seen that many butterflies in one area, ever! Kylie told us about the stages of a butterfly's life that she learned at Cricket Camp this summer.
The theme for the "Butter exposee" was the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
The butter cow.
Old school T.V made of butter, featuring the moon landing broadcast. I have 2 words:"Amazing job!"
Oh yes!! You may wonder, what in the world is Brett chewing on??? It is chocolate covered BACON on a stick!! You know how they have any food you can think of for sale on a stick. However, this was by far the strangest combination!!! Of course my husband HAD to try it! Yuck!
The champion big bull. His name is Big Black and it weighs 3,404lbs. I am just glad I'm not the one taking care of this big boy.
The sky ride was one of the favorites!
The view from above.
We watched the State Fair queen contest. Here is Kylie with Bailie, the Louisa County Fair queen. Bailie is a good friend of Kate, Dakota and Kylie!
After yet another fun- filled day at the fair we loaded up and headed for Grandma's house. We ate dinner on the go and watched "Jungle Book". Tired can't even begin to describe the state of our children when we reached grandma's house, good thing is was just on time for BED time!
