Earlier in September my mom took Nya and I to the state fair because neither of us had ever been.
We were so excited to take Nya to this Little Hands activity because on the internet it said you could feed animals, plants seeds and all kinds of fun things. She was talking about wanting to go to the fair and feed the chickens for days. Unfortunately once we go there we found out it was all fake :(.
Taking her fake money she earned to the register to buy an apple for her hard days work.
Of course we had to go see all of the animals. Nya was really diggin it, pregnant Sharee stuck in barns with stinky animals, not my favorite.
Pigs
Cows
Sheep
Goats
Bunnies
They even had a lot of funky looking pigeons. But alas, not a chicken in sight to feed.
This nice man took out his pigeon so Nya could touch it.
Enthralled by a katydid.
Nya had to ride the ponies. I thought she would freak out, but she did so well and really enjoyed it. The man in charge let her choose her pony, so she chose the smallest one named Moose which I think really confused her.
She was also concerned about the pee on the ground and kept wanting to know why it was there. She has really been into asking "Why" about everything this summer.
Checking out the brine shrimp
Pig race
I have been looking everywhere for a little broom for Nya and of course we find them at the fair. She had to hold them the entire time.
Curse this little train!!! We saw it going around where the animals were 3 or 4 times but could never find it. All Nya wanted to do was ride the train. She was talking about it the entire time. We asked the man driving the train where we get on but neither my mom nor I could understand him. So, we went looking where we thought he said it was. We asked people all over the fair working there and no one had a clue about a little train or where it was. Super frustrating. I bet we walked around for an hour just to find the stupid thing. We were beginning to think someone just brought it and didn't tell the fair because it was out in the boonies and no one knew about it. We finally found it, and Nya by this time was beyond tired and ornery but she still wanted to have a ride. 6 dollars for a 3-5 minute ride. What a joke. Oh well, when is the next time she will go. She was so happy about going on the train she wanted to keep her ticket and still has it.
Okay I am done and want to go home.
So tired she actually fell asleep in the car. She slept the entire way home which is big for her because she never sleeps in the car, even when we go on road trips. I guess fighting off naps for a month and a half and a full day at the fair did the trick. It was so funny to watch because she was trying to drink her milk but she was so tired she couldn't hold it up to her mouth. Poor tired girl.
Nya had fun for most of it even though she was tired before we even got there, and would only eat an apple, a handful of fries and ice cream the entire day. I am pretty sure it was because she wasn't feeling well, but I didn't know it at the time. She woke up sick the next day :(Most of the day was planned around Nya, which I feel bad because there was really only one thing my mom wanted to do and we couldn't because Nya just lost it. It was a lot of fun, and it would be nice to take Dave someday. Thanks for taking us mom, love you!
