Fair if you dare...

We took our annual trip to the state fair this past week.  We have to drive through Jon's district to get into the free entrance for police.  As usual, Jon gave me a tour of the lovely neighborhoods he works in on our way.  "Responded to a person shot there last week.  Huge gang fight there yesterday. That gas station gets robbed on a regular basis."  I felt myself sliding further and further down into my seat as we made our way there.  Yikes!  Thankfully, we all made it safely to the fair where we ran into other ferocious creatures like Daniel Tiger and hungry pigs.  :)

Kate did well and enjoyed people watching. 

The kids took a lap on these mini tractors...

 and then decided to move onto these big dogs...

Last year, I recall being HOT and in my 3rd trimester at the fair.  It was fun to be able to lug Kate around on the outside this time around and to pass her off to Daddy when she got too heavy.  :)  The cooler temps helped to make this a more enjoyable experience too.  Hooray for the fair!
