We started by visiting the chickens, bunnies, and goats and I believe the pygmy goats were the highlight of that building for Addie. She was doing the "they're so cute" dance and was very excited. When we got to the pig barn, she immediately started making pig noises, but was terrified when Chris put her down right next to one of the pig's pens. I don't think she realized just how BIG they are in person! (There were some enormous ones!). We also got to see little piglets playing and they were probably my favorite part. Then we saw the sheep and cows, and although Addie had been obsessing over cows earlier in the day, she didn't seem to be impressed by the real thing (of course they are a lot larger in person too!).
After stopping by the Dairymen booth to get some ice cream (to share with Addie of course), we sought out to find the infamous balloons all the kids at the fair were carrying around. Addie got a purple balloon and right after that, we found Chris's taffy he loves so much. Everyone was happy!
In awe of the "puple bloon" (my favorite picture!)
We made one more stop at the horse barn before leaving and Addie was more impressed with the straw hat that was on a display table than the actual horses. At least I enjoyed petting their soft noses! I think I must be allergic or something though, because I sneezed quite a few times on the way home. It started raining on us just as we were walking back to the van so our night ended just in time. We had fun and we'll definitely be going back again next year...who knows, we might even get crazy and brave some kiddie rides :)
Bye bye Fair!
