The State Fair

Every year since Gene and I started dating {13 years ago!} we have gone to the state fair. We have continued the tradition through the years, and it is so fun to take the boys now!

We started out eating lunch at the same place we always have. The corndogs and fries were so delicious!

After lunch we headed to the petting zoo {followed by a vigorous hand washing}.

Ben was delighted by all the animals and we literally had to drag him away.

The boys also took a ride on the carousel with their grandmothers.

McLeans was thrilled....

but Ben seemed a little unsure {at least from the ground}

Despite the chilly weather, we had a great time and cannot wait until next year!

We didn't make it to the fair this year, and I'm really wishing I had gotten an elephant ear and a caramel apple!! Yes, let's definitely get together over Christmas. We should be around!
And thanks for thinking I would be capable of making Em's jacket, but I don't think I could...I ordered it from Castles and Crowns. :)Can't wait to see the boys in their costumes!
Have a wonderful Halloween!
