Fair Fun

I’m not a fan of the state fair.  There is little there that appeals to me and it’s usually SO hot.  But this year our church choir was asked to sing at a service on 9/11 at the fair.  So since Chris is in the choir we packed up and headed to the fair with Grandma and Grandpa as well.

To my great surprise and delight I actually had fun!  I must say the fair is much more enjoyable with Corbin. 

We went around and saw many of the animals including pigs, cows, sheep, and the very noisy chickens and ducks.

Of course any moving or nonmoving vehicle got Corbin’s attention.  From trains to tractors, cars to mowers, trucks to trailers we stopped and looked at them all:)

But my favorite part of the day was an agricultural exhibit that had many hands-on activities for the kiddos.  We all enjoyed watching Corbin explore this area. 

He put his hands in with some seeds, cotton, and corn to see what they felt like.

Then it was off to milk a cow…mooo! (Grandpa was the real expert and showed us how it was done.)

Finally, Corbin saddled up and went on a ride!

So although I may not still be a huge fan of the fair I will definitely go again next year because Corbin made it so much fun!
