State Fair

Julia and her new found friends!
John and Julia vs Evan

I think I like these messy cream puffs....hope you brought the wipes!


Evan feeding the Clydesdales hay



Julia had to use her hands to hoist herself up!




Today John took a day of vacation and we all went to our State Fair! We wanted to get an early start so the best we could do was arrive at 830AM .We happened to meet up with my sister and her family as well as Patricia and Mike who adopted Evy from China several years ago. Julia got to go down the Giant Slide with John...Evan actually wanted to race with them .Julia was not afraid and wanted to go again and again and again....unfortunatly would have costed a fortune! We then headed out to the pig races and met up with my mom and stepfather. Julia and Evan loved cheering on the pigs and goats and ducks who raced! The Midway had one dollar rides so Evan and Julia went on several. Evan was nice enough to take Julia on a lot of the smaller rides since she did not meet the height requirements without someone going with her. She was fearless on most of the rides....the roller coaster was a little much for her! The Clidesdale horses were my favorite!! Julia enjoyed all of the animals...esp the goats. We split some cream puffs and ended the day at 630 in the evening!
The fair tends to have a new food item each year...one year it was deep fried Snickers, the next was deep friend pickles and then deep friend oreos....all very healthy of course...lol
One of the new food items at the fair was chocolate covered bacon! We all had to try it since it sounded so unusual.....it was a little much! Good thing I have my Y membership.....
Well off to bed.....I took a day of vacation tomorrow and decided that I am going to surprise Evan. His birthday is actually tomorrow and he thinks he is going to daycare.....I am actually just taking Julia to daycare tomorrow and spending the day with Evan for his birthday! I will let him decide what he would like us to do tomorrow.
