Gotta Love the Fair...

It's Fair time! YAY! I absolutely love going to the State Fair! It's a must do- every year...even though the booths never change and I already have purchased the "ring cleaner", and the "salsa maker"...McCarrey and I took Kennedy and we all played at the fair on Monday night. Kennedy LOVED it! She was just enthralled with all of the people and the lights from the rides, but most of all the animals. It was as good as the zoo as far as she was concerned- and BONUS! The animal owners weren't shy about letting Kennedy go up and pet all the animals.
Kennedy's "fabilate" (that's how she pronounces favorite...) were the fluffy little bunnies. I have to say- I have always loved the bunnies too. I remember once in high school when we went to the Summit County Fair and my mom, my brother Neil and I were looking at all of the rabbits. Neil said, (I think almost jokingly) that he wanted one and thought it would make a fun pet. I sat there thinking..."Ya right! No way in heck mom'll go for that!" And then later on that day we left the fair with a sweet little gray rabbit. We called her "Bunji Rabbit" and she was such a sweet pet and we loved her for years- now the rabbits are always my favorite at the fair.
Kenna was kind of scared of the little goats. However- They kept trying to eat her clothes or her hair- so I guess I can't blame her. Too Funny...
And of course- the crowning glory at the Fair- the amazing 700 pound butter statue. I can't go to the fair without oohing and aahing over the butter cow. Anyhow- the lady that sculpted it happened to be there when we went over to see it. I swear- one of the great moments in my life...or not.
At any rate- we had a great night. Filled with pigs, the big yellow slide, navajo tacos, and "live info-mercials" - and we can't wait for next year when the fair rolls around again.
