The Alaska State Fair

I love the AK Fair. I didn't think I would. I went for the first time with Rob's Aunt and Uncle when  Amelia was 5 months old .  Rob didn't mind it and I thought it was great!  I went again with my sister and Amelia the following year and will now make it a yearly trek.  It's a nice walk to see everything, crowds are smaller and it's never too hot!  And here is the testimonial:  Rob actually wanted to go this year.  I am used to the NYS Fair, it’s huge and I am usually sweating and exhausted when I leave..(ok I do miss the pizza frite).  

Amelia loved the botanical garden, the merry go round and the farm exhibits especially the horses.  We attempted a pony ride, but the minute the pony turned its head her way she started crying...so we headed back to  the merry go round and had another enjoyable spin!    It was kids day the day we went and one exhibit was a cookie decorating table.  Yum.  YES, that is Rob petting a goat.  I am telling you, he actually enjoyed himself.

We went to watch the horse show (from a distance) and looked at the new jeeps (had to let Dad have a few perks), and did another trip on the merry go round as the pony ride didn't go over that well.  Not many rides for 2 year olds as she had to be 36" to ride most...no worries...didn't need them :)
