Maryland State Fair

We took a trip to the Maryland State Fair tonight with Jed, Kate and Stacey. For as slow as we walked through the fairgrounds, we sure were tired at the end!

As a reward for eating a good dinner, we headed straight for the tractors!

Of course, this was the highlight of the night for Josh!

This was a HUGE tractor. Katelyn found a spot next to the seat that was just her size.

The highlight for Katelyn was the animals!

Kate shows her the piglets.

Josh and Katelyn both smashed their heads together reaching for the sheep.

Jed scored some free ride tickets from work - thank you!

We were able to get Katelyn on a bunch of rides even though she was technically too short. Next year she'll be able to ride all of the rides!

Josh's favorite ride - making Daddy proud!

After rides and ice cream, we headed to the rodeo. This was Josh's expression while watching the bullriding. He kept saying, "Whoa." Katelyn clapped when everyone else clapped. We went to the stables and got to feed one of the horses treats which was fun. Katelyn was brave and let the horse take the treat from her hand. I don't have any pictures of that, but wish I did. It was really a cute sight to see! We watched Mutton Bustin' and Josh decided he would be ready for that next year. Then we left after Barrel Racing. It was a fun evening!
