Second visit to the Fair is in the books. This one was all about Henry’s favorite things and classic Fair food. We went with his cousins and family and put on a solid seven hour Fair visit. Henry woke up at 1am and then several more times overnight, too excited to sleep.

Henry cheers them on!

Early start, started the morning at the horse show right when it opened.

image

The family joined us.

image

Then, chickens!

image

Chicken and rice bowl, impulse buy (inspired by seeing the chickens?) Not bad, and healthier than most fair food.

image

Quick detour to the classic carousel.

image

Henry ate his foot long hot dog so fast, this was all that was left by the time I remembered to take a picture.

image

Curds. Katie approves.

image

The John Deere pavilion is always a favorite.

image

More rides.

image

Rides on the Kidway.

image

Katie’s must have, a turkey-to-go sandwich.

image

Soft serve for Henry.

image

A family share bucket of Sweet Martha’s cookies, of course.

image

Yum!

image

Henry put a big dent in the all-you-can-drink milk.

Trip through the horse barn on the way out.

Thanks for joining us, Ben, @[1456852784:2048:Stephanie McDaniel], Eleanor and Ada!

Milking demonstration in the Moo Booth.

Henry tried his hand at it, and declared himself a farmer.

image

An annual favorite, the goats.

image

Henry was very sweet and gentle with them.

image

The result… Success! One happy and exhausted boy.
