State Fair (Trip #1)

The state fair has finally arrived and we were out there in full force. Gammy and P-paw drove in for the day. The girls had the time of their life. We parked by the agriculture center so that we walked by all the farm animals. The girls enjoy seeing all the different types of livestock. Then we ventured out into the wonderful October heat. There wasn't a ride that the girls didn't want to ride. We had to use our parent magic and sidetrack them from many of the large, bumpy, and wet rides.

My favorite part was taking the girls into the funhouse. Watching the girls eagerly walk though the maze and run into the glass had to be the most enteratining event I've seen in awhile. By the time we finished up: 3 slushes, 1 funnel cake, and 1 ice cream later, we had 2 extremely tired girls and even more exhausted grandparents and parents.

As I type this the girls are laying in their bed watching TV and I'm praying that in the next 5 minutes they are asleep. I am now in the recovery process of this event and getting ready for next Wednesday. This is when we set off for the fair with my parents (Nana and PawTom) and Amelia, Janna and Julia's cousin (who is only 6 months younger. The adults will again out number the children (6 to 3) but I fear that the adults will somehow lose this battle as well.

Loved reading your recap! How is it possible that two such small little people can exhaust us so much?! Miss you guys.
