Time For The Fair

We went to the Michigan State Fair yesterday. It has been six years since we have been to a state fair so this was a big deal for us. We used to go every year but, unfortunately, the Michigan State Fair has been shut down the last several years due to budget concerns. This year it was able to open again and we had to go. We had a lot of fun and we can't wait for the next one.




 There were plenty of animals



 Just kidding!


We watched the Shriners Circus



 It was actually under the big top.


We ate yummy fair food



And waited for rides.
Some of us didn't mind the wait

 as much as others



 There were some much needed breaks along the way



And a few sibling arguments

until they figured out Dad had the camera



Mostly though, there were lots and lots of smiles!
