The first Sunday of the state fair, we got up and got in the car and decided to head that way. We got there soon after it opened, which was GREAT. We didn't park too far away and it wasn't crowded...yet. We walked through a lot of the buildings. For some reason, I always really like to see the butter sculpture. I don't know why, it's just interesting to me that someone is creating art out of butter AND it is such a big deal to people. Like, you have to wait your turn to see the thing!
So this McGruff the crime dog was walking and talking. We were strolling past and it started to talk to some other kids. Adam was instantly fascinated. We took him out and he got close...but...when the thing came towards him, he was outta there. And then he used the chance to try and break free and run down the sidewalk! Oh, Adam.
So, no surprise, Adam LOVED the animals (main reason we wanted to take him really as he is too young to ride the rides without someone). He loved the pig with babies he smiled ear to ear when they were sqeauling but his favorite was this goat!!! He put his hands right in there! (I know, bad parents!!)
We ate Dinosaur Bar-b-que...the pulled pork sandwiches were so good...and I fed Abbey her applesauce while Adam gorged on french fries, of course. After about three hours, it had gotten HOT and the kids were DONE!
We got in the car and I asked Todd if he had had fun and he said he liked spending time with us. And I felt lucky because I know after working working 65 hours that week he'd love to spend his weekends vegging out...but he wanted to do something with his family, for his family. And we both love making memories as a family:)

How romantical (so much so there's a little puke in my mouth) :) LY!
ReplyDeletePlease...I remember doing live coverage from the scene as the butter sculpture was unveiled. LOL. I'm sure Todd actually enjoyed going more than vegging out.
