I was able to go to the fair three times this year. On Monday, I took my third graders there on a field trip. The highlights were the sea lion show and the bengal tiger show. On Friday afternoon, Monroe and I met Emily and Patrick at the fairgrounds. Zach met up with us after football practice. On Sunday, we went with my parents, but I forgot our camera.
Monroe loves animals, so we were excited for her to see all the different animals there. She enjoyed most of them, but there were definitely some she was afraid of.
She was not too sure of the cattle.
She loved this hen
and the chicks.
We tried to get her to pose for us on the hay bail couches.
I thought we would get a reaction from her when she tried Dippin' Dots. She just wanted more. They were, by far, her favorite fair food.
My favorite fair food was, of course, fried oreos. The only new thing we tried was fried Girl Scout Cookies. We got Caramel Delights. They were delicious.
The petting zoo was fun for Monroe. We didn't buy feed for the animals because Monroe still puts a lot of things in her mouth. The animals tried eating from her hands anyway , though.
The fair is always a fun place to go as a family. We love having it in Grand Island so we can go every year.
I can't believe they had sea lions! That sounds cool.
