Ohio State Fair


It's been four years since we moved to Ohio.  EVERYONE here talks about the Ohio State Fair like it's pretty much Disneyland.  Let me be the first to set you straight:  It AIN'T!  Yes, it was my idea to go- but would I do it again?  Probably not.  I'm not one for "carni-food", "carni-folks," or "carni-rides."  Apparently that's what 90% of what this fair was about.  
I did like seeing the animals.  (Even though, just as I was taking the above picture I stepped in a HUGE pile of pig poop.  Yes, my shoes are STILL sitting on the front porch.  I don't even want to touch them.)    
It was an experience... Bart laughed at me when I took him over to see the soldiers who re-inact the Civil War times.  I thought it would be interesting, okay?!  It was fun to be there with our good friends, the Schellenbergs.  And I got some cute pics: 

Here we are in some muggy temps looking at the big horses:



My "butterball" with the butter-cow.  (Bart's in there too.)


Ice cream treat:  Yes, we paid $3 for this ice cream.  I still can't believe it.

 It was too hot for his outfit.  I stripped him down to his onesie.  Look at those chubby hands.  Love him.
