It seems like every year, without fail, the first few cool days of fall pop up in early October just in time to welcome the State Fair in to town. Even though we took Sam last year, I knew that since he was a little older that this might be the first year he would really appreciate the animals and some of the small rides.
This year we went with our friends Jim and Jacqueline. They just recently moved to town and had never been to our fair before! We decided we should eat dinner first and then we went to the livestock area to see some of the animals. Sam loved watching the chicks slide into the water and they even took one out for him to pet.
Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox, Daddy :)
After we played with the animals, we took Sam over to the smaller rides and let him ride around in the jeeps. He was very unsure about it at first, but once it started moving he was too busy steering the wheel and waving to be worried about anything.
What kind of trip to the fair would it be without playing at least one game to try and win a prize?
Sam played the "Grab a Duck" game and won himself a cute little raccoon.
Before it was time to go home, Mom and Sam posed for one picture together...
...while we waited for Daddy and Jim to race down the big slide. I think Daddy only won because he got a bit of a head start! ;)
A fun time was had by all and we left with a new raccoon, full tummies and some candy apples to eat at home later.
