We stopped first for the pig races. It was fun, as always, but the pig that was representing our section never won.
After pig races, it was time for lunch. Of course, the boys were ready for chicken on a stick!
Lucy decided she wanted to try an Ostrich Burger. She said it didn't taste any different than a regular burger!
Michael and I were disappointed because we have always gotten pierogies from a stand that wasn't there this year. Maybe they moved their location, but it was so sad not to be able to have a fair favorite. I settled for a funnel cake and lemonade instead.
We went over to the fire house display. The kids got to do all kinds of exercises like "Stop, Drop, and Roll" and rolling up fire hoses. Then the kids got to drive a power wheel firetruck. Alex was up first and he was able to drive from point A to point B with no problem. Charlie and Lucy . . . . well, let's just say that I've already told Michael he's going to have to be in charge of teaching them to drive because I don't think I can handle that!
After driving the firetruck, you go to spray the fire hose to put out the fires in the house. Everyone loved getting to do that.
We went into the education building and saw the artwork from the different schools; Lucy always enjoys getting to see her friends' artwork displayed. Then we went into the butterfly tent where you can feed the butterflies. It was a much smaller display than last year, but Charlie and Lucy still enjoyed it. Alex decided he had no interest this year!
After the butterflies, we were going to go and ride a ride, but the fair had gotten incredibly crowded and so we promised the kids that we would ride extra rides when we went to the state fair later in the month. We went ahead and left around 3:30 and as we left, the line of people outside at the ticket counter was overwhelming! As much fun as the fair is, it definitely isn't that much fun when it is overcrowded! :)
