The Indiana State Fair

I completely forgot to write a blog about our trip to the Indiana State Fair from our visit to Indiana earlier this month. We've been busy with back to school, marching band, ptsa, and more these last couple of weeks.


Here is Hannah along with her cousins Beatrix and August at the Indiana State Fair. It was the "year of the dairy cows", so they posed with a cow.

Hannah always loves to have her picture taken in the photo cut outs.

Hannah & Beatrix (with help from her mommy) completed a questionnaire on gardens. Upon completion, they were each given a little garden kit to take home.

Big tractor

Farmer Hannah and baby calf, Beatrix.

We saw real cows.


And horses

Sheep

 And pigs....the pig on the right liked to give kisses.

We saw award winning llamas.

And alpacas (I think - or it could be another llama.)

We didn't see any elephants, but we made sure to eat an elephant ear while we were there. We don't see many of those in Georgia.

We also ate some cotton candy.

The kids rode some rides.





We met a very nice storm trooper.

Beatrix wasn't too sure of his character.

And we stopped for some Bubble Tea on our way out. It was a fruity (non-tea) drink with little "tapioca-like" fruit flavored balls. It was very yummy.

We only spent 3 hours at the fair. That was about all the young ones (and my sister who has forgotten how to live with hot, humid temperatures) could handle with the hot Indiana heat. Hannah wished we could have stayed longer. Maybe another year....

  1. Sorry we missed seeing you there, we went on a day it was 78, but crowded. Had a great time. No pigs by the time we got there...they sent them all home because of, well, you can probably guess. Storm troopers were cool, you just never know what you will see when you go but it's always entertaining!

    1. This was Hannah's first time to the state fair. We took James when we still lived in Indy. I think we ended up going on the first Saturday it was open this year.
