KY State Fair!

I just happened to be home for the weekend when it occurred to me that I had wanted to take Fletcher to the state fair...after a short search online I realized that it was the last day THAT day and if I wanted to pull it off I best get going!  So I packed up a stroller full of gear, added 3 parts water to 1 part baby and loaded up the car. 

After what seemed an eternity of finding a place to park, we did manage to see all the sights!  Fletcher and I caught a Lumber'jane' performance (female Lumberjacks) complete with ax throwing, chain saws and log rolling, and caught a kids song and dance type concert thing which was very much enjoyed - we ate a pretzel, had our fair share of those delicious lemonade shake-ups, and my chosen fried food fair treat was fried green tomatoes :) As you can see from the picture, Fletcher was partial to the lemonade.

We checked out the quilts and the cakes and of course all the fruit and veggies and such and even managed a stroll through the livestock pens before they were all taken home.  There were a lot of people so while I was hesitant to let little britches run willy nilly all over the place, I do console myself with the knowledge that he did get to see a LOT!

I saw a face painting booth and could not help myself!  I picked out what would have been a hound dog face if we had finished it, but Fletcher was drooling so much the artist and I decided it would be better to leave the lower part off...

I don't think it took away from the cuteness factor though :)
Once we got back to the car he fell asleep in record time and didn't wake up at all when I put him in bed...what a full fun day!
