State Fair

We grabbed lunch after swim lessons and took the girls to the California State Fair yesterday. Despite the heat, throngs of people and long lines; we had a great time. We meandered through a couple of the exhibition halls, Walt Disney's family history was on display, each State county had a display (Placer won this year!) and there were some great art & animation exhibits. Then we traveled back in time and were scared by giant dinosaurs, but T-Rex and Triceratops were too much for our littlest; she wanted to leave. The girls and I milked a Jersey cow. She was beautiful.

We saw gorgeous show cattle and amazingly groomed chickens. The largest roosters ever, we could hardly believe our eyes. When they Cock-A-Doodle-Doo'd my hubby reminded me why I'm not allowed to have one for the yard. The petting zoo was by far the biggest hit. The most time and money was spent at this petting zoo. On entry fee and on grain to feed the animals (all right, this was nothing compared to our feeding frenzy toward the end of the day). I know the best words uttered from my mouth yesterday were: "Corn Dogs. Funnel Cakes. Lemonade." As we were driving home we asked the kids what their favorite animals were. Expecting the llama or the cows, we were suprised yet laughed wholeheartedly when they answered, "The goats!"
