Fair Day

We went to the Kansas State Fair this week for a fun family day and school field trip. We have been studying creation and so we looked for everything that God created while we were at the fair. We saw horses, fish, goats, sheep, chickens, roosters, ducks (one of our new favorites) & rabbits. Last year we went on a rainy day and it was nice and cool. This year it was HOT! I'm sweating just thinking about it. I even came home with a nice sunburn souvenir.



Zane was anxiously awaiting the pig races this year. We sat in the yellow section and our pig won 2 out of the 3 races. Woohoo!


Here the kids and I are waiting for the Wild About Monkeys show to begin. The kids loved it!



Resting and refueling in the food court! Mmmm... Zane went with a hotdog, Gemma chose a hamburger and the two of them shared a pickle popsicle. Zane wasn't as impressed as he thought he might be, but Gemma finished it up happily. Bryce and I went for the healthy stuff, like cheese curds and fried oreos. Delish!

The kids also enjoyed the midway. Lots of rides and a fresh squeezed lemonade to keep us cool.

It was a fun, but tiring day. Ruth was quite the trooper and we all slept good that night!
