Our state fair is a great state fair, don't miss it, don't even be late!

You should be hearing the music from "State Fair"! If not you missed a classic movie. We took the kids to the state fair in Springfield today for the first time. They had a good time, Jack especially had a blast. He rode so many rides he has never been able to before.

Jack went on his first roller coaster. He was such a big boy and absolutely would have done it again and again! He's the 3rd little one from the front.

So cute. Alex loved the rides she could do and was VERY mad when Jack could do the others and she couldn't. I'm thinking next year we'll spring for the unlimited bracelets since she'll be able to do most of the rides and Jack managed to blow through $25 worth of tickets is about 20 minutes!

We braved the spinning rides too. Jack loved it and so did I!

Of course we visited the petting zoo. The kids loved it, they can never see too many billy goats.

Jack on his 1st pony ride. We tried to have Alex ride one too but she did not want anything to do with that pony!

We saw the Wild About Monkeys show while we were there and Jack loved it! Alex and I enjoying the monkey show.
