A Trip to the State Fair

Yesterday evening Me, Alan & Ryder headed to the State Fair…yes we left poor Maisy out, but we will definitely be bringing her next year when she can enjoy it a little more.  I’m sure she had just as much fun hanging out with her Yaya!

This is our second year bringing Ryder here and just like last year we really enjoyed it!  We got to see and pet all kinds of animals…

Ryder named that second goat Maisy, then kept yelling at her because she wouldn’t come back to the camera for a picture with him, typical!

Ryder played several games and won prizes…definitely his favorite part.  He doesn’t ride rides but he wants to play every game we pass by.

He remembered this balloon stand from last year and started talking about which balloon he would pick before we even got out of the car to walk into the fair.  Superman is who he picked to come home with us!

I thought it was sweet that this is what Alan wanted to do for his Birthday…such a good Daddy :)

We went into the big expo center where they had hundreds of tables set up with things to buy, a dangerous place to go, but I spent the best $7 I’ve ever spent on this…

I don’t even know what you call it, Ryder spotted the pirate and had to have it, and it turned out to be so useful!  You put the strap around his neck and slide any kind of drink bottle in there.  Ryder hast he hardest time holding any round cups/bottles like that (as you can see he doesn’t have a good grip) but this thing made it so much easier for him.  PLUS he could even keep his drink with him in the car and was able to twist the top off and on…sorry for the infomercial, but that thing just made his life (and ours) a little easier!

I can’t believe what a big boy he is now…He walked the entire time, no more stroller for my baby BIG boy!
