State Fair

Yesterday my sister invited us to go to the State Fair with her and Hope Kids.  It was a blast!  We all got to ride the rides for free for 2 hours...

 We got some free popcorn and rootbeer...

 We got to see some cute animals....

 And even pet some fuzzy ones...

 Then when we walked into the cow barn there was a small crowd gathered around the one cow that was in there.  A lady told us we had missed the birth of a calf by about 1 minute!!!  Here's the new proud mama and sweet little baby. I've never seen one that new before.  It was so cute (the afterbirth on the other hand....not so cute).

 We saw some really big pumpkins (and lots of weird people...who is that guy in the hat? That's the perfect undercover look)

 And as we were looking at the birds look who walked right by!  Still in his suit and tie.  Yes, I'm one of those weirdo's that took his picture. 

 We went to the "Hands on the Farm" which Josh and Kate LOVED!  Milking the cow....

 Driving the tractors....

 Free child labor.....

 And here's some of the gang.  Thanks Aimee and grandma it was a blast, and very eventful too!

Just as a side note, Rach is doing well.  Thanks for all the happy thoughts her way.  She still doesn't realize she can't do everything though.  Last night we were outside playing with the neighbors.  Paige (neighbor) wanted to jump rope which Rachel loves to do.  She got her jump rope and just looked at it in her hands trying to figure out how she could do it.  Sorry sweetie, no can do.  You need your collarbone in-tact for that kind of thing .  Sad, but still kind of funny.
