Indiana State Fair 2007

We went to the state fair on Saturday. It was HUGE!! There were so many things to do and see that there is no way to do it all in one day. But, with school starting, there just isn't enough time to go and do it all. So, we made sure do to the children's section. It was lots of fun. They had a "Little Hands on the Farm" set up. The kids got to get corn and soy beans, get eggs from a chicken, pick apples, plant veggies, then pick veggies, milk a cow, ride a tractor, get some wool from a sheep, then go and sell everything at the market. After they made their money, they got to go to the store and buy a treat!! Here are some pics....













If you didn't want to walk around the fair, you could catch this "shuttle" for 50 cents. Looks like fun!!


We also went to a little petting zoo. These baby pigs were there....ooohhh, how cute!!





The kids also got to climb on "Frank" from the movie "Cars!!" They loved it!!




It was kinda hot at the fair, so the kids got wet in a fun fountain. After we took this picture in front of some corn stalks. Pretty tall, huh?? We have corn like this all around our neighborhood!



It was another fun day!! Wish you were here!

I am pretty sure there is an apple orchard that opens up in the fall, so we can go and pick apples!! I've also heard that the children's museum is awesome, but we haven't gone yet! There is also the zoo, which is fun. They can feed a giraffe. Plus, since we have year round passes, you guys can get in for, I think, 15% off!
