We got up semi-early (after a major breakthrough on the sleep front), and I got her dressed in her "Locally Grown" onesie thinking it would make for a nice photo op.
However, a blow-out as we were leaving the house necessitated a costume change. I do realize that she does not need baby leg warmers and socks in 80+ degree temperatures. But her legs and feet are the only thing that stick out of her stroller, and I was/ am paranoid about sun exposure. Paranoid.
Anyway, we made it.
We did all sorts of novel farm-like activities. We weighed Scout on the hog scale (14 pounds, give or take). And she posed in front of the biggest boar.

I was finally convinced that the leg warmers, while protecting her legs from UV rays, were roasting her. |
As a side note, the Animal Learning Center is air conditioned, has bathrooms, and a baby area with rocking chairs for feeding and clean changing areas.
We bypassed the line at the butter cow, and snuck a peak from the other direction.

While I was caught in a rather unflattering pose, Scout was unimpressed. |
Other than that, we saw some animals, some flowers, lots of bizarre people, and ate some food on a stick. Next year, maybe she'll be ready for the big slide.

What? No knitting ribbon winners??? Glad it was a good day!
I know!!! We got sidetracked by the cow giving birth and never even made it as far as the knitting exhibit. So sad, but there's always next year!
Love the post!! Our fair is labor day weekend, I am so excited to take Jameson to his very first fair.
Wow - that calls for some serious pumpkin pie!! Yumm..
Cute pictures!
She is so cute & getting so big. Our fair is coming up next month here I can't wait to see it kind of marks the beginning of fall here.
