Mountain State Fair: "Looking & Eating Day"

 As always, our first family day at the fair is always a "looking and eating" day with no rides, ... because once rides are involved, that's all my kiddos want to do! 

The absolute highlight of the day was seeing the Kenyan Acrobats perform! (See Annie's face below!!!)

 We always seem to see someone we know at the fair, ... this time we spotted Leia's friend, Madison!

The hunting and fishing pavilion is always a favorite spot to stop as well.  Here are the girls fishing.

 The petting zoo is always another favorite, ... this year the loved the baby goats, but the highlight was the brown baby llama!  (See below.)

And it wouldn't be the Mountain State Fair without "Pig Racing"!!!

... or winning a prize.  This year we really lucked out because lots of people played and Mamma or Daddy always won!

It was the biggest pumpkin that was the biggest disappointment just because of all the rain in the late summer, the talk of the town was that all of the best pumpkins rotted away.  I've never seen a winning pumpkin quite this small!
