Last night we went to the Virginia State Fair and saw little bit of everything from albino sheep getting "haircuts", an elpaca that looked like it wanted to snack on Hayden, mini horses, racing ducks, the biggest slide you've ever seen, a Demolition Derby (we are in Virginia), and monkeys riding ponies. We had heard rumors of monkeys riding motorcycles and Hayden had been talking about them all day, but he certainly didn't seem disappointed. We didn't expect Hayden to want to participate in any of the rides (certainly not one of the three Ferris Wheels), but he had other ideas. First, he wanted to go down the giant slide, then he wanted to ride in a racecar, and finally we decided to try on of the kiddie truck rides. Patrick and Hayden patiently waited in line and Hayden picked out his shiny purple truck, but when Patrick buckled him in and walked away the giant bottom lip came out. So, the rides didn't exactly work out!
Our favorites? Hayden liked the monkeys who danced around a small stage wearing ridiculous costumes and rode ponies. And of course, he loves his new Spiderman balloon! Patrick reverted back to a 5 yr old when he saw The Great American Duck Race straight from New Mexico... those birds are fast!!! Katy liked the funnel cakes, the animals - smell and all, the funnel cakes, watching Hayden's confused face trying to figure out what those crazy chimps were doing, and um... funnel cakes.
