McLean County Fair

This past weekend, we took the kids to the local fair.  It was really nice!  We say this a lot, but we can't wait until they are older and can do more things.  I know, I know...one day we will wish they were "babies" again.  We were thinking how nice it will be when they are a bit older so we can stay out longer/later and they can go on big kid rides.  However, we did have fun at the petting zoo, looking at all kinds of different animals, and of course, eating the fair food!

Meredith was a bit apprehensive around some of the animals, but warmed up to them after a bit.

She LOVED the baby chicks.  We first went to the fair with some SAHM friends, then later as a family.  When we went later, she was asking about the chicks from the previous day.

Watching horses with her friend, Reese.
This was so cute!  Reese and Lauren gave Meredith a hug as we were leaving.
Watching the pig races with Daddy.  Luke and I were too short to see anything :(

Chad took Meredith in the petting zoo.  I couldn't believe they let the kids get that close to the animals.  She saw a zebra, camel, kangaroo, and many farmyard animals.

Her first corndog!
