Up close and personal at the fair

The Fair season has arrived and so we decided to take advantage and give Graycen her first fair experience.  She LOVED it, all of it - the food, animials, people, "things" to see.  Graycen loves animals.  We spend hours each day reading her books about animals - pointing to the different animals, mimicking their sounds, etc. - so, of course our first stop was the animal barns. 

Our first stop was to see the duckies and chickens:

Making friends with a goose
 Next stop, the cow barn.  She was a little apprehensive at first.  Cows are alot smaller in her books than in real life, but kept telling us "more...more" as we went up and down the rows of cattle.


She was a little irritated that she had to stay in her stroller, but she kept trying to touch (hug and kiss) the cows.

On to the pig barn where she was able to touch a pig on its nose.



 Finally, the horses.  The horse barns were closed for the evening due to the hitching up the Clydesdale, but it was fun to see such beautiful and enormous horses up close.



 All in all, it was a successful/fun family night out, although really expensive.  Seriously, $12 for just a hamburger?  Not looking forward to loan we will have to take out when Graycen is old enough for the rides.
