Family Time at the State Fair
10/05/2013On Thursday afternoon we headed over to the State Fair with my in-laws, David ended up meeting us after he got off work!
I love the fair but I knew I didn't want to go on a weekend because
it would just be too much, you try maneuvering a massive stroller and a
toddler through those weekend crowds so we went on a week night. As
with most fairs it was just huge, unless you have a full day to be there
there's just no way to see everything plus the main reason we go to
these things is for the kids since Hannah is finally at an age that she
can do more of the activities!
First up was the animal tent...everything from a GIANT giraffe to pigs, goats and a mini horse! You can tell Savannah was just thrilled to be by the pig right? Next door was a smaller tent with smaller animals like chickens and rabbits, I'm really thinking of getting Hannah a rabbit, I had one when I was younger and she seemed really interested in them!
I was able to take Hannah on a couple of the rides like a mini toddler roller coaster and the carousel...she was a little hesitant at first but then she got the hang of it once it started moving and liked it a lot more...Savannah was quite content checking everything out from her stroller...she probably does have the best seat in the house!
Finally we took a family ride on the Ferris Wheel...OMG! I hate these things but I did it for my family, I'm just not a fan on heights and with an almost 1 year old who won't sit still I was freaking out! We had a great afternoon and evening as a family and it was really great to get out and enjoy the fair.

This is so cute! This is like the 3rd post I'm reading about someone's family trip to a state fair! I definitely want to go with hubby and baby one of these days for sure. I am with you on the heights thing lady! xoxo
ReplyDeleteit's obviously someone telling you go to the fair lady! haha :)
DeleteWe have a fair where I grew up called the National Peanut Festival, and I always looked forward to it every year. I live too far away to go now, but I'm sure they have similar events here in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteI just have one little guy (he's 3), but I feel the same hesitation taking him out--stroller, extra clothes, snacks, etc. You've inspired me to get over myself and get out more. I gotta do it! It'll be fun, right?
It will be a blast! I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and if I can do it anyone can!
DeleteIt looks like so much fun! I'm trying to go to my 1st State Fair this year...wish me luck! Hey if you can do it with a 1 and 2 year old I've got it made...lol
