The State Fair

On Saturday night we went to the State Fair.

The boys loved it!

That might be an understatement...they played for hours and cried when we had to leave.

We went on so many rides that we didn't even have time to see the animals.

Mike had to get back for something, and we had early church the next day.

If it wasn't for that, we could have stayed for hours more!

Saxon had TWO grilled corn on the cobs for dinner!

And Bridger and Dalton split a hot dog and a corn on the cob.

Love my Bridger-boy!

At one point, both big boys had to go to the bathroom, so while Nate took them, Mike and I took Dalton to the little farm experience.

He started off with a basket and an apron:

Then we went on to feed and milk the cow.

Then he got to pick an apple from the tree and a seed from the basket.

We went to the next garden where he planted his seed.

The garden after that, he was able to harvest his veggies.

Then we moved on to the fill our tractor up with gas and ride it around...

After racing our tractor, we gathered wool,

and eggs.

Dalton was a little afraid of the chickens (which were fake), so Mike moved the egg up to the front so Dalton could put it in his basket and not be in danger of the chicken.

After doing our best farming, we went to the farmer's market and sold everything in our basket for a fake $1.00.

The best part of the whole thing?

Dalton got to take his fake $1 to a mini-store and buy a treat.

He picked strawberry milk, and he was very proud of his hard work!

To bribe them to leave without tears, Mike told them that he would buy them each a treat.  Bridger wanted cotton candy, Saxon picked ice cream, and Dalton got a smoothie.

We had SO MUCH FUN!

My boys are so lucky to have Mike in their lives to take them to do so many fun things :)
