Here's our day at the fair - there was lots to do so there are lots of pictures!
The first thing we did was check out all the animals. The pigs were first and those scared him a little so we moved on to the bunnies and chickens, which were a little more his size! He loved the bunnies and hopped all around the cages. We had a hard time keeping his fingers out of the cages too!
I just have to say - what in the world?? Notice the comb and can of hairspray? It's a COW for goodness sake! But the fluffiest cow I have ever seen - although I haven't seen that many up close!
It was actually cool in the morning but of course Hudson wanted to play in the water anyways. Luckily we were able to distract him without getting too wet.
Too sweet!
Butter! Hudson loves butter now so when I told him this was made out of butter he liked that!
Sooo Big! He kept bending over and trying to pick the pumpkins up. Then he would grunt and say "biiigg".
My little farmer!
Riding on the combine. They had a place called "Agland" and it had all sorts of stuff set up for kids to play on to learn about agriculture. We weighed Hudson on the scale and he weighs the same as a baby deer - 22.9 lbs.
Riding the "horses"
"Yee-haw"
We watched the horse acrobatic show for a little while.
Hudson was a little worried about them falling off their horses!
And then - GASP! - we let Hudson eat a corn dog for lunch! He loved it - mostly just the breading but he ate part of a second one too. I ate a little bit of it and felt sick for the next hour! Hot dogs - yuck!
Then it was naptime...We took our books and a blanket and laid out in the grass while he slept. Only lasted about 40 minutes though.
Riding the ferris wheel! I was worried he would freak out and cry but he was just fine. He loved the helicopters that kept flying over (You could do a 5 minute helicopter ride for only $40!) and you could see their landing spot from on top of the ferris wheel, so that's what he watched the whole time.
He loved the carousel. When it first started up it scared him but then he thought it was great. Only problem was he didn't want to sit on just one horse, he wanted to try them all out so we had a hard time convincing him to sit still.
By then it had warmed up enough for the water. He got soaked. I happened to snap this picture right as the fountain came on and went up his nose!
We had a hard time distracting him from the water again but luckily the bricks along the sidewalk finally did the trick! Of course when he got to the end he turned back around and said "more"!
In the morning we brought the stroller with us but he only rode in it twice for like a minute each time so we didn't bring it back for the afternoon. So he got to walk a lot - but it was pretty slow going! After watching the pig races we went and got some ice cream! Hudson ate my entire cone!
We stopped by the chickens, bunnies and pigs one more time on our way out...(Jamie fixed Hudson's hair if you're wondering what happened to it!)
And if that wasn't enough for you - I captured it all on video as well!! You would think at the end he was totally worn out and would have fallen asleep - but no, he didn't fall asleep the whole way home and was still going strong at 8:15 when we finally said he HAD to to to bed cause we were exhausted!
