FR-- The State Fair

On Thursday after we got back from camping the family headed out to a State Fair that let people in for free if they donated canned foods. We of course were all over that. It was the perfect day to go, not hot or cold. It felt great. 

When we first entered the fair grounds there was a display of old tractors that the kids could climb on. They sure enjoyed themselves.

There was even a pretty pink one for Emeri to drive.

The fair also had these fun tractor bikes that the kids could drive. It was perfect because the kids were all over the real large ones right before this but here they got to drive their own.

We love cows!

What a cute herd of sheep we make. I love Juan's face the most!

Emeri refused to be held, so to keep up with the group we had to swing her. She didn't mind it, obviously.

So my brother Samuel is obsessed with sports. He can tell you any fact about any player for any sport, past or present. I love it! He is so funny and competitive, he sure is a Ralph. Well, at the fair there was a newspaper stand that had a wheel you could spin, and if you spun the number 18 you could win this bobble head baseball player. My mom had us all spin to try to win it for Samuel and the person who did that for him was his two year old nephew Nathan! We all cheered, it was adorable.

Aunt Jessie was winning the heart of Emeri by giving her a sucker. lol She screamed when I took it away from her. HAHA So then I let Aunt Jessie be cool again and give her another one. HAHA Emeri was glued!!

Grandpa Ralph showing Andrew the llamas.

We are all gathered around a mama pig feeding her 15 two week old piglets. They were so tiny and adorable. She was a trooper, laying there while there was a war going on for her tits. HAHA

The owner of the piglets grabbed one out for us to pet. It was so soft and cute!!

Lunch Time Pic!

Oh yeah, such naturals on the 4 wheeler. I can't wait to own some one day!

So little innocent Isaac walked right up to a doughnut stand and asked the workers if he could have one; not knowing that he had to pay of course. I quickly ran over there and tried to drag him away. The workers though, said he could have a free mini doughnut and then they gave them to all the other kids too. They were so kind. The doughnuts smelt amazing.

Here we are in the horse barn. Those horses were massive and beautiful. I can't believe people actually ride those ginormous creatures.

I was so proud of Isaac betting the horse. His face had pure excitement and thrill on it.

Uncle Samuel is the best sport in the world. He is the sweetest most kind hearted boy I know. When we were looking at the horses, he accidentally tripped and being Samuel he played it off way cool (innocent and sweet) Well, his nephew took advantage of him on the ground and bounced right on him in the middle of the barn. HAHA It was so adorable. I don't ever want to forget that moment.

He even tried doing a push up with Andrew on top. Uncle Samuel is the best uncle in the world, and the sweetest brother on earth. We love you Uncle Samuel.

Going to see the horse judging contest with Grandma Ralph.

No one would be able to "focus on farming" with these crazy animals. 

Close up of the chicken.

Even closer! HAHA

Grandpa Ralph spoiled his grandchildren with a fun ride on the carousel.

Do you see the hunter with his dead deer? That when on throughout the whole ride. HAHA

After a long day at the fair we headed to the Old Country Buffet. I love how we took up a whole row of tables.
