State Fair

This already seems like ages ago, but I want to record the memory bc otherwise my forgetful brain won't remember. My parents look forward to taking their grandchildren to the state fair every fall. This is the first time Avery attended and bc of that, so did I. Four kids is too much for two adults in these types of settings especially with Avery's unpredictable struggles with sensory overload. The weather forecast was not favorable, but it turned out to be an awesome afternoon and evening bc the crowds were smaller and the rain didn't start until we were getting in the van to leave :)

The rides are their favorite part, but this year we really took advantage of the farming aspect too.

Owen was chosen from the crowd to represent a pig in one of the pig races (their favorite event, every year). He was one of those kids jumping up and down pointing at himself. I think it was because his shirt makes your eyes hurt ;) Anyway his pig won and he went up on stage to receive his prizes. Hilarious. He never ceases to amaze me.

I am fairly certain Ryan would have stayed at the fair overnight with the farm animals. This is just a pretend milking but he was interested none the less. He wanted to see them ALL and he even picked out a few he wanted to bring home.

It was an afternoon of fun memories and lots and lots of walking! 

Thanks to my parents for making it happen.
