First stop this year was the pig races. They were adorable as always. Andrew wanted to be a section cheering leader for the final race but other children were chosen. He took the disappointment well though.
Once the pig races ended we headed off to the food. Lunch consisted of hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fries and pop. Fair food is ridiculously overpriced if you ask me but it is part of the experience for sure!
After filling up the tummy tanks we headed off to see the animals. We started with the chickens and rabbits. Lucy was not fond of the chickens. They kept crowing and she would jump and stare in a terrified type of way. Somehow a chicken farm is not in the cards for us anytime in the future!
We checked out the petting farm area which was almost entirely a bust. Andrew was the only one to really enjoy the animals. Zane and Lucy were both terrified of the strange creatures wandering around.
All that walking wore out my Lucy so she took a nice nap. It was wonderful to have our big double stroller!
Zane was pretty unsure about the animals in general. He liked the baby animals (regardless of size) but acted scared of the adult ones. So, even if it was an adult and you called it a baby he was fine. He is so much fun, lol!
Andrew thought the animals were exciting. He wanted to pet just about any that we saw. He really wanted to hold a chicken and a baby pig. They weren't letting anyone do that though so it was easy enough to explain.
Of course the kids both wanted to do rides. I think going to Disneyland has spoiled them because they didn't seem to get that the rides take tickets and tickets cost money at the fair. We ended the day with an elephant ear (my favorite!) and went and looked at the draft horses. There were lots to look at and it was a really fun time. Can't wait for next year to try some pictures at the fair again!
