Emily learned to milk a cow at one of the agricultural displays.
Then we got a great view of the fairgrounds from the ferris wheel. Emily loved going way up high!
On the rides we couldn't all three fit on, Mick and I took turns riding with Emily, and the race cars were first.
Daddy and Em stepped up to play some games, and she got the ball in the winning cup on her first try!
The nice thing about some of these games was that she had as good a chance of winning as we did.
Everyone was so nice to her, and most games gave prizes even when she didn't win--although for $3-5 per game, we probably paid for ten or twelve of their prizes :). Emily came home with a stuffed pig, doggie, cow, penguin, bear and giraffe.
Some of my favorite things are all the things that really make it a fair...the ferris wheel, of course,
and all of the crazy food! Seriously, deep fried kool-aid?!?
And check out these burgers--we actually saw people eating the doughnut burger--a cheeseburger between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts! I wouldn't have thought you could ruin a KK doughnut, but now I'm convinced I was wrong.
We didn't try anything crazy, but Emily needed some ice cream for sure.
She was exhausted after lunch and slowed down enough for a snooze with one of her prizes, a little stuffed doggie.
When she woke up, she was ready to go again, so we headed for more rides. The flying bumblebees with Daddy,
then the carousel,
and finally the big fun slide! She loved this one so much they had to go down twice.
We were a little spoiled in the morning because we got there early and didn't have to wait at all, but the later it got, the more crowded the grounds became, and we needed to get home to Gracie and Bella, so we left around 4:00.
It was such a fun day, and we'll definitely be back next year!
