There are like 50 (slight exaggeration, maybe more like 20) animals in a corral just wandering around. They let you just walk in and mingle. There are goats, miniature horses, calves, alpacas, CAMELS, sheep, turtles, rabbits, donkeys. And it's not like there was a "sheep" section and a "turtle" section; they are all just chillin' in a small corral together. So while you're petting a goat, a turtle is trying to get past you and a camel is licking your leg. It was weird to be in such close proximity to so many animals. Had there been some sort of stampede... none of us would have survived. But it was cool because all of the animals were very tame and gentle.
This was the first time our family has pet a camel...
A kiss from a sheep...
The kids loved the animals
After the petting zoo, we were ready for dinner. Nate and I had some yummy Gyros, Spencer had pizza, Preston had a hot dog, and Lauryn had a little of everything. Then the boys were desperate to go on some rides. First they "Walked on Water".
It was so cool. They got into these huge inflated balls in a big swimming pool and then the balls were zipped up and they floated on the water.
The boys looked like hamsters rolling around in a plastic ball.
They were laughing so hard they could barely attempt to stand up.
Then it was off to the miniature roller coaster
Weeee!!!!
We also watched a Rattle Snake show. Spencer was entranced! Unfortunately I didn't get very good pictures of the snakes.

SO fun! We went to the demo derby last night and went through the petting zoo before hand. That was the COOLEST petting Zoo ever! Looks like the rest of the fair is awesome too. Why is it that fair food always tastes so much better? I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much.
A CAMEL?! Wow! That is awesome. Maybe we should make an effort to attend the Fair!
Did you give the bubble over water a try? Or did you vote to be camera/baby holder at that point? :)
It looked like you guys had a great time! We won't make it there this year (is it already over?) but will probably next time. The fairgrounds are very near where Matt's parents recently moved so the kids see it EACH time it is set up and beg to go.
I want to get into one of those balloons and walk on water...
Hunter tried "walking on water" as well and we had to make him come out 'cuz it was too foggy to breathe! I think I need to invest in one of those they are so cool...
