Labor Day at Van Wert Fair



We spent the Labor Day holiday at Gra-Nola and PawPaw Gary's house and of course had to check out the big county fair before heading home on Monday. Lexi was overjoyed! She experienced many "firsts" at the fair this year. We took off for the Baby Animal Barn. There, she saw piggies, puppies, chicks, ducklings, kittens, 2 sheep being sheared (and making a lot of noise), and even a baby horse! The next stop was the pony barn. It was pretty dark, so the pictures didn't turn out very well. The COW barn was next... yes the COWS! Finally Lexi was able to see and even touch a cow up close. After seeing the animals, we ventured off to find some food. Lexi had her very own corndog (the whole thing!) while mommy and uncle Benny shared a Texas Tenderloin. Lexi also liked the tenderloin and ate her fair share of it as well. She also had some of mommy's nacho chips (without all the topings) and several bites of elephant ear! It was a good thing we packed plenty of juice. After walking through several of the display buildings, we decided to head for home. Of course we couldn't leave without grabbing a bag of cotton candy. I will let you know how that goes as soon as mommy is brave enough to open the bag and actually give her some. What a great close to a busy and awesome weekend.
