The fair

Can you believe that we went to the State Fair without a camera?! So everything I'm telling you, you will just have to picture it in your head.

We went to the fair on Monday; Daddy always takes off to go with us. We left later than I wanted and then it seemed to take us forever to get there--only because we got breakfast on the way, stopped at the bank, and got gas.

The entire way there K kept asking to see the cows. So we made sure that was our first stop. We saw many animals at the fair--cows, sheep, horses, baby pigs, the world's larges boar. And she wanted to pet them all. And after petting them she would say, "Cow (or whatever it was)cold Mommy."

It was a beautiful day, not too hot. Usually it is almost unbearable for the fair. But not this year. We did eat our fill of yummy food: cheesy beef sticks, funnel cake, milkshake. The kids rode a few rides; their favorite was the super slide. It was a really tall slide with 3 hills. You sit on a grain sack and slide down. C went by himself; Daddy took K once and I took her once. It goes really fast. Their faces were classic.

Most of what we do at the fair is just walk around and enjoy the sights and smells. Yesterday we enjoyed the weather too. At the end of our time, we met our friends and their 3 kids at the dairy barn. We haven't seen the kids in quite some time so it was nice to see them.

Then Monday night Daddy had a softball game--which he won by the 12 run rule. Once again it was nice to sit outside. We stayed for a little of the next game since Green Socks was playing (I think "ia" has been replaced by her boyfriend-Green Socks--sorry "ia")

All in all it was a very nice day, especially since we got to spend it with Daddy. That's always nice.
