Ethan and Noah posing next to Big Foot. They both just love monster trucks!
It's amazing how your kids change in one year. Last year, Ethan was new to rides, so he didn't want to ride anything that went too fast or too high. This year he was all about the thrill!
Noah was too small for the rides, so he relaxed in his stroller and cuddled his bear. Cute, as always!
...or he enjoyed watching bubby have fun!
I think Machinery Hill is one of Ethan's favorite parts of the fair. He has to sit on every lawn mower, excavator, bobcat, and tractor that he can. Especially if they are BIG. This is an old restored one...he likes the sound of the older tractors. And he gets sooooo excited whenever he sees yellow and green! He breaks into the John Deere theme song from the library videos he's watched about a hundred times!
The animal barns are always fun. We skipped the pigs this year...they are just sooooo stinky. The Miracle of Birth center has been redone - bigger and better. We saw lots of chicks hatching, and a newly born sheep and pig. The kids favorites this year....horses. Especially the tiny ones!
Ethan also tried his hand at carpentry - the Home Depot booth had a kids workshop (which explains the bright orange apron). He hammered together a "really cool racecar that goes super fast". #20 for all you Nascar fans.
*sigh* Summer is officially over on the 4th. It's amazing, but up here, it's like nature knows when the fair is over to start getting colder and changing colors. I love fall, but the older I get, the more I start to dread the long, dark, winter to come. The Farmer's almanac is predicting a rough one. We've had it pretty easy the last several years, so we will see.
