Indiana State Fair

It's our first trip to the state fair for the family! Even though the boys complain every time I make them walk anywhere, we thought they would have fun seeing things the fair had. And, they did have a good time! We saw farm animals and lots of tractors-things the boys are not around, being town folk and all :-). We ate a little bit of fair food-corn dogs, funnel cake and a lemon shake-up to drink. So good! We did as much as we could with the boys and know that every year we go back, we'll be able to do a little more!

We did a little panning for "gold"

We found a tv in the floor

The FFA building had a cool indoor play area ("indoor"-in an open barn that was not air-conditioned) that had a jungle gym too. There was also mini-golf that the older boys and Andy played.

Time to eat! Yea for fair food!

Free ice cream!

The corndog is delicious!


Cale is always willing to pose for a picture!


The Department of Natural Resources building (cool and air-conditioned!) had the tanks of big fish, of course, and also had a shooting range. The boys got to practice their aim with bb guns.


We looked at 4H exhibits. The older boys really liked the rockets. Liam just liked walking all over the place. And, I found these awesome chairs!
Favorite parts of the fair:
Ewan: tractors
Cale: shooting, little pigs
Marcus: shooting
