So it has been YEARS since I have been to the state fair and was super excited when my dad and Linda asked if we wanted to go last week. As an added bonus Shahnaz hadn't started work yet and was able to join us with the boys. 
We had so much fun. It was a long day but the weather was perfect and the pronto pups delicious! Rory even got to try her first french fry! I had always gone to the rides portion and had never really explored the other parts of the fair. With the kids in tow- obviously the ride place was the least attractive so we spent hours touring all the animals, 
the gardens,
the dog show, petting zoo
and some crafts.
The baby mini horses were the best as they were rory and quincy size and super friendly.
We did hit the rides on the way out and Owen was able to go on 3 rides all by himself.
I couldn't believe what a big boy he was! Rory was super tired at that point, but would perk up enough just to watch owen go round and round and wave each time he passed- super cute. I think my fav was at the end we went back to the mini-van and attempted to get all 3 kids changed, pj'd and fed. It was chaos- they were crawling all over the van and pretending to drive.
luckily with 4 adults we managed to get it done and hit the road just in time for bed. All in all a great day and a future tradition I'm sure. Thanks to dad and linda for such a fun day and to shahni and the boys for sharing it with us! ~Britt

It really was super fun!! Thanks for having your camera there and for posting all the pics. The kids were such troopers (yet again), and it was so very fun! I'm glad you included the description of the getting-ready-to-leave part back at the van. That was just a comedy of errors. Such a great day, and yet I'm glad the state fair only comes around once a year. 'Til next year...
