Indiana State Fair

Todd, Papa & Me, the kids and I went to the Indiana State Fair on Friday. We took the train from Fishers to the fairgrounds and then back. The girls LOVED riding the train!! We made a day of it and got home about 8:00pm. The food was AWESOME and the weather was perfect. We got to see all kinds of animals and do some hands on activities with the kids.

The first picture is of twin calves that were only a couple days old. And then little piglets that were a week old. Reagan kept wanting to go back to see the piglets every time we went to the restroom (they were in the same building).


The girls feeding the goats carrots.


Christian trying to pet the goats and then watching them jump around on the rocks.

Me, Reagan and Papa taking a break and drinking ice cold lemon shake ups, Yummy!!!

Christian's favorite part of the day was when we gave him the elephant ear. He LOVED it and kept wanting more! I said, "Who wouldn't?, it is covered in sugar!"

Claire also enjoyed her part of the elephant ear.

The next few pictures are when we took the girls to the "Little Hands on the Farm". It was all about" farm life". At the very end, you sold your items, got money, then went to the "grocery store" and got to get a drink or snack.

Picking the eggs the hens laid....

Planting seeds to harvest...

Harvesting the seeds they "planted". As you can see, Claire got a tomato (all the food was pretend).

Driving their tractors around the farm....

Milking the (pretend) cow...
