State Fair (9/17)

It worked out perfect this year. I had parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday/Thursday the same week of the State Fair. Therefore I had Friday off and Parker and I (along with the Smith's and Maus) got to go to the State Fair! We got to see lots of animals...

Then we got to go watch a Monkey Show and it was FANTASTIC! The monkeys were ones that are trained for omericals and movies. The guy was a Ace Ventura look alike (darn it I didn't get a picture of him!) and was great with the monkeys. While we were waiting on the show to start we got some great pictures of Maus with the grandkids.

Then if was off to the Pig Races! Parker had a total break down on the way there. It has been a long time since I've seen him that upset. I left Parker with Maus and Eric so I could use the restroom and when I came back he was literally kicking and sceaming and running away. It took awhile to regain his composure; not sure what it was about!

Maus and Parker were choosen to be cheerleaders for the white section. Go Maus - shake those pom pons!

Then we ate some lunch and headed to the rides. Parker loved the Tilt O Whirl!!

Parker hooked up with a real cutie on the Dragon roller coaster.

The day all ended with an ice cream cone and REAL tired little boy! He didn't make it out of Hutch before he was snoring in the back seat.
