Fun at the Fair

Yesterday we took our annual trip to Palmer for the state fair. This year, by far, was the most fun for Sycely. She had a wonderful time watching all the people, eating yummy fair food, seeing and petting the animals and she rode her very first ever ride! Hooray for the carousel!



I think riding the horses on the carousel and imagine a VERY high pitched squeaky voice here the "baby chicks!" were her favorite treat. I'd bet she could have spent all day there looking at those little guys. I feel another hatching project coming on.

She also got to go in the petty zoo, where no joking, a goat actually farted right on her! First thing, right when we got in there! It was hilarious, she looked around at the goat like, " I think I know that sound, and I'm pretty sure you're being rude!" She was also knocked over once by a baby sheep being charged at by a goat, but she seems to have survived fairly well. Nothing a little garlic fries can't cure!

Next year she'll be tall enough to even go on some of the bigger rides, like spinning apples and gently floating elephants. I think we've still got a few years til we have to worry about the tilt-a-whirl and the zipper, thankfully!

All in all, we had gorgeous weather (a pretty slim chance at our fair), tasting food and lots of family fun. We had a super fun time at the fair and Sycely was such a trooper, despite only a 15 minute nap as we parked the car. Can't wait to do it all again next year!
