You see a little of everything at the State Fair...Lots of tatoos that make your child ask, "momma, what's all over her arm?" while she is standing 2 feet from you, Luckily she was yelling at her kids so she didn't hear. :) You see lots of people, one of which was a tiny baby, younger than Darla, with a KU Jayhawk sticker/tatoo right smack dab on his forehead!! John did have a good point in the fact that no, we probably won't ever know them. :) LOL. Lots of animals, the pig races, a man that carves a log into a really cool tree with a chain saw, another man that rides on horses and does all sorts of gymnastic type moves while they are trotting around. You see boats and grills and fourwheelers and hot tubs and that's just the beginning.
Then you see the food....at the corner of sweet stuff street and deep fried avenue. Man alive....if you can eat it you can deep fry it at the State Fair. Pickles, oreos, candy bars, corn dogs, AKA Pronto Pups, fruit, cheesecake...the list goes on and on and it's amazing how long people will wait in line for this stuff AND pay for this stuff. BUT, we all do it to take in the good times of the State Fair. :)
We really did have a great time. Spanky loved seeing all of the animals at the petting zoo. We also got to see the 4-H cows, goats and pigs. We also rode the BIG TALL slide. It's so fun to see the pure joy in your child's face when they see something fascinating. Baby Darla enjoyed it as well, she was awake most of the time enjoying the scenery. :)
Quotes from the State Fair:
"Sit up and eat your fried pickles"
"It's a fried peach...EAT IT"
"Lily, sit down and watch the pig races"
