State Fair 2008

This is Lex's 2nd year of going to the State fair. This year he had a blast with the animals. He is so not afraid of them. He can thank Ben for that. He is so fearless. He sticks his whole hand in there to have the animal lick or so he can pet the animal. Thank goodness none of them have sneezed on him yet.
We went with the extended family to the fair. Julian and Lex had fun together.
Here Lex is showing grandma how it is done. "You stick your whole hand in there."
There is a place at the fair where little kids can go to pretend to be farmers. Lex is being like his daddy when he was young and milking the cow. Of course this one is not real but at least he is working hard, right? He will develop those nice muscles like Ben has from milking the cows.
Lex planted seeds and watched them grow. he picked an onion. What a good boy. I love onions.
Here is is picking all the produce. he was suppose to just grab one onion but he grabbed a tomato and some carrots too.
he liked this part, digging up all the vegetables.
Lex was trying to steal every ones vegetables. Julian was nice enough to share a carrot with him.
At the end you turned in your stuff for a treat. Lex couldn't wait to eat his granola bar. Isn't Audrey cute??
Grandma and Lex waited in line to see the clown and he made Lex a balloon animal. It is a fishing rod with a fish at the end, in case you couldn't tell what it was.
This picture is of farm animals carved out of butter. Awesome, huh?
Oh and we looked at a bunch of produce grown and all the ribbons. They had some huge peaches and onions. I wanted to steal it and eat it all. It made me want to have a garden but then I realized I am the worst at growing plants, ask anyone.
