What a busy weekend! Yesterday we went to Charlottesville, and this afternoon (post nap) we headed to the Virginia State Fair. Matt had to work, but Katie and I had quite the trip. I didn't get too many pictures because it is very difficult to manage a stroller, a diaper bag, a 2-year old, and a camera when you are by yourself. I left our nice camera behind and just used my cell phone....when I could.
Our first stop was the livestock area. Katie got to see horses, cows, and sheep. Oh - and when we arrived there was a sheep riding (similar to bull riding) contest for little boys (like 7/8 year olds). It was soooo cute, and pretty funny to watch. After the livestock area - we headed to buy some tickets and ride some rides. I can't tell you everything we rode......but 2 specific rides were Katie's favorite. One was the Merry-go-round and the second was a Katie sized bulldozer ride. She cried hers eyes out when she had to get off that bulldozer - so we rode it 3 more times! :-)
After our rides, we headed to the crafts area - and then to get some yummy and totally unhealthy fair food. We settled on corn dogs, french fries, and funnel cakes.
Our last stop on the way our was the livestock area again. Katie is a little afraid of large horses - but she kept asking to go back and see them. I wish we could have stayed longer and taken in more sites, riden more rides, and eaten more bad food - but it was getting rather cold and late so we headed home. For all you Richmond folks reading this blog.....get your little ones out to the fair! They will LOVE it! Also - kids 2 and under get entrance and rides for free (at least that was the deal today)!
