State Fair

August 15, 2009

As we do almost every year - we made the trek to the State Fair on Mark's birthday with his Mom. What a fun day. The kids had a ball. They saw baby pigs that had just been born, the butter cow, a monkey show, and they even got to milk a cow!!! We ran into some of Mark's cousins right before we left. It was nice to see them - we don't get to very often. There's Linda, Will, Jody, William, Mark, Karen, Megan, & Mike - and of course the kids :) Emma & Daddy Grace and her piggy ears.

Mark wanted this for his birthday....needless to say - he didn't get it.

My favorite part - the mini doughnuts!!! The kids love them too!

mmmmm....doughnuts!

The Butter Cow

Benny & Grace posing as farmers. Grace's little baby face with that...well...much 'older' body is hilarious!

Wouldn't Patrick make a cute farmer?

It was a long day for Emma. She did really good though.

The monkey show. It was pretty good. They had a couple of baboons that had been in different movies.

Patrick showing off his 'milking' skills.

Benjamin wasn't afraid of the cow at all this year!

Of course Grace wasn't afraid....she's not afraid of anything!
