We had a lot of fun at the Ohio State Fair this year. It was Maddie's first trip and she had such a great time. Over the last few months she has really started to develop a love and interest of animals. (Much to Daddy's shagrin) When we are out for walks she gets so excited to see dogs or the geese across the pond. We have been working on animals sounds as well when we are reading our books. She does a great 'moo', 'baa', 'woof' and 'grr'. Visiting all the animal barns at the fair we knew was going to be a thrill for her.
This is a video of us checking out the horses. Take a look at how big her eyes get!
Our first stop was the sheep barn. Talk about sensory overload! Miss Maddie loved the lambs baa-ing at her and would baa right back.
Checking out the momma cows with Daddy. If you ask her she will tell you that a cow says ...'mooooo'.
This one is pretty blurry, I know. Mike was taking in through the glass at the hog barn. This is the momma pig and her little babies. Maddie really enjoyed petting the momma pig with it's bristly hair.
No trip to the Ohio State Fair would be complete without a trip to see Smokey Bear. Smokey talked to Maddie and even gave her an honorary forest ranger certificate.
Practicing our fork skills trying to eat some of Mommy and Daddy's gyro. She loved eating the olives and thought the lamb meat was super tastey too.
Chillin' with our bottle on the way home.....a tired little girl.
But not too tried for ice cream!! This was Maddie's first cone (up untill this point she and Mommy had been sharing). We still fed her the ice cream with a spoon and let her lick a few times. Once all the ice cream was gone, I stuffed a napkin in the cone so it wouldn't drip and she went to town on the cone.
She decided since I was so nice to share all the times before, she would share her cone with me. What a nice little girl.
We made some great memories and can't wait to keep the fair as a family tradition that we have each year!
