NE State Fair

We took the girls to the State Fair on Friday with some other friends because all the Daddy's were off from work. This is the last year it's going to be held in Lincoln before it moves three hours away to Grand Island so we went one last time because there is no way I'm driving that far for a fair that's only 'so-so'.
We did the usual touring of the animals...Sydaleigh particularly loved the pen with nearly a dozen baby pigs. Marvelly liked them too, especially when she could throw shredded hay on them.


But her love for the pigs quickly vanished when one got out of its pen and started wondering
around....wondering around by her....



We explored some more animals


and some more


and some more....(I love the sign in the picture with Marvelly-seriously, who would literally feed their fingers to an animal?)


We watched a pig race, ate terrible but impossible to resist fair food, and then watched a high dive act. Now that was entertaining! A bunch of guys jumping from ridiculous heights into less than 10 feet of water....in speedos.






It was fun. We always go in the morning so unfortunately we miss out on the evening rides and entertainment, and all the carnie action...but maybe next year we'll take them on a ferris wheel.
