Let's Go to the Fair!!!

This evening we went to the Indiana State Fair!  We had a grand time taking in the sites, and yes, we did even look at a few tractors!  To start out our trip, the kids got to learn about life on a farm.  They each got a basket and had to collect things along the way.  Our first stop was to get some grain!
Next they got to collect some eggs!
Tori and Garrett each got to pick out one vegetable!
Garrett was thrilled with his onion!!!
Next, Tori got to take a little ride on a tractor!
Yep, those cows needed to be milked- Tori was a pro!!!
Being the year of the dairy cow, we got to see a lot of cows.  Tori had so much fun feeding them!
And Jared was so excited to milk a real cow!!!
I know you can only see the tire- but this tractor was huge!  It was a great spot to take a few pictures- Tori, Garrett, and Daddy fit inside nicely!
And so did Tori and Mommy!  (Just in case you were wondering, this machine costs more than our entire house- crazy!!!)
Tori loved riding on Daddy's shoulders while we took in the fair parade!
By far, our favorite spot was the FFA building (props to you Amber!)!!  Tori could have fed the sheep and goats all night long and been in heaven!!!
Garrett even got in on the feeding a bit!
How cool is this- the FFA building had a mini golf course!  Tori and Daddy had a fabulous time taking in a little golf!
Tori's mad mini-golf skills...
or lack thereof!  Apparently we need to take her golfing more often! 
Along with checking out different exhibits and buildings, we ran into many friends, and enjoyed a tasty dinner from the Dairy Bar!  I am so glad we braved the crowds- it was awesome!  Can't wait to come back next year!!!

  1. We should go golfing with you. Then the boys can teach Tori. What a fun place though.
