State Fair

Yesterday David, Trent, Kelly (my mom's husband) and me had a fun filled day at the state fair. It was so nice going during the middle of the week because it wasn't too crowded. The weather was perfect and we had such a great time there. We ate so much food full of sugar or that was fried, it's not even funny! Trent had his first bite of cotton candy and he wasn't a big fan. I think it dissolving in his mouth kind of throw him off guard. He really enjoyed seeing all of the animals and the petting area. When we first got to the petting zoo, you can buy small cups of food, so we did and I showed him how to feed the animals. I had stuck the cup out and let a goat eat from it. After he saw me feed the goat I handed him the cup to feed more animals. Well I guess he was feeling pretty generous, because he let a goat eat from the cup for about a second and then decided to pour the food out on the ground for him to eat. After getting another cup, we made sure to help him with feedings after that! It was funny too, because that one goat seemed to be falling him. As we walked around, Trent got to see Big Tex talk, we saw part of the bird show and he watched kids on some of the rides. He was tall enough to ride the kiddy rides but we didn't feel like he was ready to try a ride by himself quite yet (maybe next year). Also, a very entertaining part of the day was when we stopped for funnel cakes and lemonade. We were all eating parts of the funnel cake and were almost finished. There was a pretty good sized piece left and Trent realized this may be the last bite so he grabbed it and stuffed the whole piece in his mouth!!! It was very funny watching him chew this huge piece of funnel cake! After walking around for most of the day he did finally pass out for about 30-45 mins but we ended up leaving shortly after he woke up. We were all pretty tired and full!! I'm looking forward to going again next year when he's a little bit older. I can't tell everyone how great it is to finally be at a point to do things like this with him.
