State Fair

The Michigan State Fair is the oldest state fair in the country and unfortunately, it looks like this was the last year it will be held due to budget cuts. However, we made the most of it and went twice!

The first time, we saw a few cows who were very pregnant. When we went back a week later, one of the cows was in labor! Mommy said the cow must have had an epidural because she was too calm!

I got to pet goats too, and went right for their noses! Then Mommy and I went through a hay maze! Mommy had a slight advantage, being taller than the hay and all. Cheater.

Then I went on my first ride ever! A merry-go-round! At first I wasn't too sure, but once the horse started going round and round and up and down, I was giggling through my pacifier!

Papa went on a ride too - but a slightly different kind of ride.

But as you can tell, he loved it!

I wasn't too impressed with the newly hatched chicks. Whatever.

The cows were neat, but by then I was exhausted and ready for bed!

The next weekend, we went back with our good friends, the Bibbs'. Colin is one of my best pals and I have even kissed him on many occasions (don't tell Papa!)

We went back on the merry-go-round and once again I loved it! And so did Colin!

This time I got to pet a day-old lamb. She was soooo soft, but once again, I went for the nose!
