state fair 2013

Before kiddos headed back to school, Haven and I spent a day at the IL State Fair with G & G Miller, Aunt Ambo & a few cousins.  It was the Angus Open Show so we also got to see a PVF heifer win a division and Uncle Alan show.  It was a picture-perfect summer day for the fair and we ate some great food and got in on some fun activities.

waiting for the cart races to begin

We got in on a few rounds of the horse show.

Haven trying her hand at putt-putt at the Dairy Barn...kids earn letters by playing games and when they spell something with dairy in (yogurt, butter, etc), they get a free glass of ice cold milk!

Amelia stayed with us while her folks headed home so she & Haven got to see the Budweiser Clydesdales all harnessed up...it's pretty impressive to see a team of 8 large beautiful horses!

Some church had free face painting so of course Haven got in on the action & chose...

...a rainbow!
