State Fair

Saturday (August 4), we had plans to visit a friend in Chicago, but her daughter got sick and we had to post-pone. We had the day free, so we decided last minute to head to the State Fair in Indy. We go to the fair every year, so it was just a matter of fitting it into our schedules. My parents were able to join us, which always is a great treat. When we got there, it was pouring down rain. We checked out the radar and it was a short storm, so we waited it out. Then when we entered, there wasn't anyone there taking tickets. We got in free! How exciting! We enjoyed a dog show and the kids fun park. 
 
 
Ethan had fun feeding the goats!
 
The kids got some tickets to ride the rides and had a blast. Lauren wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, so Ethan and I joined her.
 
 Dylan wanted to do the obstacle course and got to try out two of them. 
 
 And a tall slide!
 
Lauren and Dylan went on a scary ride that goes behind the doors. They loved it! I thought Lauren would be scared, but I was wrong! Then Lauren went on the dinosaur ride by herself! I was so proud of her! She is growing up before my eyes!
 
 After the rides, we enjoyed an elephant ear, some cotton candy, and some deep fried Oreos and Samoas (girl scout cookies). YUM!! We had so much great food, a perfect time at the fair!
