The Ohio State Fair!!

Last weekend, we had our best trip ever to the Ohio State Fair. Those of you who know me, know that I have a slight fixation on the fair. It ranks in the year second only to Christmas. Or perhaps Christmas ranks second and the fair is first? Either way my entire year revolves around the Ohio State Fair and Christmas. We had a charitable donation to our trip this year which was GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! You know who you are!

So, Saturday, we got there the minute the gates opened and we browsed, and ate.We peeked and poked, and ate. And oh yes! We ate. Did I mention that we ate? We ROLLED out the gates approximately 7 hours later (and 20 pounds). The good news is that we had close to 18,000 steps.

We saw it all though!

Big Sheep.

Little sheep.

Even sheep with four horns!

We saw fancied up cows.

 

The butter cow! Which I somehow missed getting a picture of…but I did capture this as a remembrance of the dairy barn!

Big cows.

Little cows…Liam never did fess up to what was in that pocket. Something sweet would be my guess.

Big pigs.

And soooo-wee-t little pigs.

And of course, the chickens!

We did not see any horses. Which was very disappointing for Mags. But all in all it was a perfect day.

Sadly I did not get pictures of all the food. Actually, I’m thinking that is a good thing. I don’t want to see everything I ate in a span of 7 hours in one place. It may cause me to blush and groan and hide my face.

Some of the highlights included: swiss cheese on rye (from the dairy barn of course), fried swiss on a stick (when it comes to getting enough dairy in my diet I’m a real health nut, what can I say?), steak on a stick, donuts, kettle corn, candy…

Well, you get the idea, so we’ll just stop there. Not that I stopped there, oh no! I ate more than that…but, I still don’t want to see it all in one place. Not even in words!

More to come soon!

I love you all!
