Nevada State Fair

This past weekend we splurged and went to the fair. We usually tend to stick to the activities that don't cost us anything, but hey, we're
bringing in the dough now so... why not? Well, it actually took us a good couple of hours to decide whether or not it was worth all that hard earned money. But, we finally caved in, went and had a really good time.

The boys had a blast. Seth was so enamored with the rabbits - I had to drag him out of there, almost kicking
and screaming. Luckily, his attention span is short enough that he forgot all about the bunnies seconds later when he saw the goats. He was finished with all animals, though, after a sheep 'baa-ed' at him once. He was terrified of all living animals after that. Sam loved all of the animals, but seemed to enjoy the cows the most. I know - very odd! I think he bonded with the young dairy cow and just thinks they're wonderful now.

The demolition derby occurred the same night so we sat in on one heat of that. I'm not sure exactly what Sam thought of that. He spent most of the time with his hands over his ears (very sensitive to loud noises) and I think a smile on his face. He told me the next day that he was going to drive race cars that crash "when I grow up and be a daddy." But then he changed his mind and decided air planes (that crash) would be better. Luckily I have several years left to try and persuade him to do something else :)

We ended the evening at the Burger King drive thru, with Whoppers and fries - doesn't get much better than that. Yummm! It was a fun time, and we are glad we splurged for the evening.

Oh, and sorry about the blurry pictures. I forgot the camara so we had to make do with Adam's phone - not the best quality, but you get the picture!
