Our first stop was food. (We got there around 1:00 and no one had eaten lunch yet.) The boys were a huge fan of "chicken on a stick!"
After eating, we went and saw the exhibits. Lucy found all the artwork from her school and from Calvary. There was also an exhibit where you could "feed" the butterflies. The kids each got a paint brush dipped in sugar water and you would have a butterfly come and sit on your brush. It was pretty neat and they were so excited to see butterflies up close and personal.
Of course, no trip to the fair is complete with rides! We told them that we were only going to ride 2 rides a piece so they had to choose carefully. . . the boys wanted to ride these big trucks. However, I think they were a little disappointed that they had to "drive" in the back of the truck! Oh well!!!
After riding one ride, we had to stop and go get our seats for the pig races. The boys remembered doing this last year and insisted on it again this year. They also remembered that we had cotton candy while we watched, so we continued that tradition as well. These boys can eat some cotton candy!! :)
We went back to the rides after the races and everyone wanted a turn on the "Go Gator!" Lucy was also excited to ride because some of her friends from school were there at the same time.
We walked around and saw some animals as well. Alex was so excited to see a building full of "Bo Bos!" (His word for sheep)
We had a little more food before we left. What did everyone want of course? Chicken on a stick!!
You know it was a good time when everyone falls asleep in the car as we leave!!
