Indiana State Fair 2010

This year at the state fair was "the year of the big." At least that's my version. The technical version was "the year of the pig." There was a huge (25 feet) sculpture of the famous "American Gothic" by Grant Wood. I thought this was pretty awesome. This year we bought $15 unlimited ride wrist bands for the kids. Best $30 we spent at the fair. They totally got their money's worth. This was their favorite "ride." It's actually just a giant slide. I couldn't even begin to count how many times--in a row--they did that thing.

The "bee ride."

This was an "Indiana Jones" obstacle course. The first time through, K got scared and we thought we were going to have to go after her. But big brother C came through and helped her out. Sometimes................

C was more than willing to sit with this bear and pretend he was scared. K was not so willing. So Daddy sat with her. He's scared; she's sucking her thumb. (at least Daddy wasn't sucking his thumb)

This was a huge sand castle. Again--the year of "the big."

This entire thing was made of cheese! That's a lot of cheese. K would have been in heaven.

The kids loved these horses! C's horse actually "cried" (aka: whinnied) when C left. So cute. But I'll take a dog; thank you very much. Not a horse.
Isn't Ham cute? All made out of cans. Oh the patience of the people who made this!

A huge! pumpkin carved to match the "Gothic" people.

The over sized cow and container of ice cream.

Not sure why C wanted to take his glasses off. And I love how K's face is all scrunched up.
