Our First Time to the State Fair!

Both Steven and I had never been to the state fair so we figured we'd go this year! We left yesterday at about 3:00 and stayed until 10:00 last night! We didn't think there would be so much to do! We had a blast! We walked around, went on a few rides (Steven wouldn't go on very many :o) and we ate some very greasy but good food (Indian fry bread, curly fries, corn dogs). We went inside a "fun house" which wasn't so fun. It made me sick! Not really, but the stairs would move and we had to climb through a hundred ropes to get out and then walk through a spinning tunnel. We went to the demolition derby and I think that was by far my favorite part of the fair. It was like live-size bumper cars! We also saw the biggest horse, steer, and pig. The steer was just ridiculous--6'6 tall! I got some pictures of course! And we also had to visit the Harley-Davidson tent. We sat on all the bikes and talked to the guy there about them too. I have to admit, I want one now! I would definitely get one for both Steven and myself. On our way out we walked through the petting zoo which had more animals than I thought. They had a camel, zebra, pigs, mini-horse, ostrich, goats, a bison-looking thing, kangaroo and quite a few more that I can't remember.

I am SO SO jealous!! It looks like you had a fun time. I think that no matter what activities you participate in at the fair...it's still a good time. Next year, we are definitely going together. Too bad this year didn't work out!!
**We want Harley's too...someday!!
