State Fair 2012

We've seemed to make it a tradition (with my Mom working at the State Fair & has access to free tickets) to head to the fair every year.  I didn't enter anything this year (because I didn't have a kitchen), but the kids like going & seeing all the animals and exhibits.  This year, we invited Uncle D to come along with us....oh, and Daddy because he had the afternoon off :)
 
Every year we hit up the little farm.  What did I learn this year???  That a pig will get up to 270 lbs in the first 5 months.  James is now trying to convince Michelle & Derek to put a pig in their yard (along with a goat & some chickens).
 
 
 
Although fake, Madison wanted nothing to do with these chickens.
 
 
 
 
 
My boys had a hoot seeing and touching all, and I mean all the animals that they could.  Madison wanted nothing to do with them.  For weeks she's been telling us that she's ready to ride a sheep; but put her anywhere close to one & she starts freakin' out.
 
 
 
 
It was with this goat that Jaxson, with the most sweetest voice, asked James, "Daddy, can we please have this goat?" 
 
 
Only a Clegg family would be mesmerized by a fishing pond.  I was walking to the next exhibit, turned back & realized that my family decided to look at the fishes.
 
 
On the car ride home, everyone fell asleep.  I guess it was that exhausting.
