(Ackk. Another picture I should have turned before I uploaded them.) I’ve already been asked twice about this photo so I better go ahead an explain it. Last week we took the kids to the state fair. They had a good time. N’s favorite activities were the ferris wheel and the lighted parade. (Mommy opinion: I thought the ferris wheel was way too expensive and that the lighted parade was a bit too cheesy for me.) E put those two actiities on her favorite list along with the addition of this kid’s farm. The kids walked through this activity while pretending to be farmers. There were signs instructing them on what to do: water a tree, pick a peach off the tree and put it in your basket, plant a seed, harvest some vegetables, feed corn to this sheep, etc. Along the way they collected many things (a peach, an egg, a bit of wool, a vegetable, a carton of milk) and near the end they were able to ‘sell’ their goods for a pretend dollar which could be spent in the store to buy a pack of gummi snacks. Actually 3 packs of gummi snacks – too bad they had some gooey stuff in the middle and the kids (and grown-ups) all thought they were yucky. So that’s where the chicken picture comes from. And no, they were not real.<\/p>\n

This year’s state fair trip was a bit last-minute for us. Next year I think we’ll plan a little more in advance and we’ll likely have the kids save up some money to pay for their own $6 ferris wheel ticket. We’re glad we went though. The kids did great. Hannah slept pretty much the whole time in the sling. It was a long day, but very fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
