At the end of August we took in the Oregon State Fair. It has been a few years since Mommy attended but honestly, not a lot has changed. (Except I was shocked you can walk around with a beer now, but no I did not partake with 3 children in tow!)
First stop was to see Dottie. She was so stinking funny. It's Brent and Kim's girl McKenzie's pig. She actually started oinking and wagging her tail when she saw us! So cute that I almost bought into Lauren's little "I want a pig" world! I said almost. McKenzie and Miss Dottie went on to win Champion Breed Pig the very next day!
Then we had to see the piglets....a staple of the Oregon State Fair.
We then tracked down Miss Sydney's presentation board. She received a red award. I think she was a little disappointed (red was not good at the Coos County fair).
However this made her think twice. Some kids that went to state didn't even get a ribbon and were on display only. Something to strive for next year!
We then went to get their face painted.
Lauren scored a glittery unicorn.
Sydney got a fancy fairy!
Off to see the "exotic" animals in the family fun zone.
They even played a few games, everybody won a prize. Lauren's a big scaredy cat on rides right now, but she entered the Fun House with her cousin.
I think they had a good time. But I have to admit the following picture was totally unintentional. The large "jugs" on the left of Sydney......um ya, didn't really notice those when I took the picture.
We watched some dock dogs....and the pit bull jumped the farthest!
Next to the giant Etch-A-Sketch in the Retro Toy Expo trying to wait out a rain storm.
On the way back to the car, we stopped by the horse arena. The Draft Horses were having their pulling show. Gorgeous. It was raining and a good place to be. Adalynn was tired and needed a nap, but you couldn't tell by this picture.
It was a great time with my 3 girls! So nice to have Sydney along with us! And so fun to be able to reconnect being a little closer than our Washington stint. <3 it="">
