Indiana State Fair

The Indiana State Fair closed on Sunday and we decided we wanted to spend the afternoon there. We hadn't gone in 3 years with Camden being born and the accident last year. Kevin and I both enjoy it so much.

Of course, there were animals to feed and pet.


Kevin got bit by this little rascal! He wanted to be fed...not pet.

We also checked out a few of the 4-H exhibits and hands-on displays.

Of course there was food to be eaten! We did our normal fattening food (breaded tenderloin, elephant ears, etc.) and didn't try the very extreme (Krispy Kreme Burgers).

We checked out all the big tractors.

And Camden rode a pony! Unfortunately we grabbed our little camera and the battery was dead. We could only get one picture and then have to shut it off for several minutes before we could try to get another. But Kevin did capture on picture of her with the pony. She didn't want to do it at first, but I put her on promising I wouldn't make her go if she didn't like it...and she said it was okay. By a few feet into the loop she was smiling and talking about "pulling the pony" as she held onto the handle on the saddle. I was so proud of her for braving something she was initially scared of.
