Sunday marked Addie and Ben's first trip to the Delaware State Fair. There was a steal on tickets on Friday only for Sunday's Brad Paisley concert, so we figured "why not?" Timing it just so perfectly, about 30 minutes before we left our house the sky turned black and we had a major storm. When the power went out, we thought that was a good time to leave, hoping the storm headed north and wouldn't impact our trip. Little did we know. It followed us the whole way and actually got worse further south. We ended up sitting in the car for 45 minutes or so waiting til the lightning bolts stopped hitting the ground. Once it was over though, there wasn't another drop of rain.
The thing that I like most about the fair is the ability to interact with all of the 4H clubs and see the livestock they are showing. Addie and Ben liked it too. The camera lens was foggy from the temperature change. They are in front of huge pigs.
They got to "walk" a goat too. The girl who owns him took one look at Addie and said, "with a smile like that, you should show him at fairs."
I LOVE Addie's expression here. Last year when just Brian and I went to the fair, I held these little fellas (well, ok, not them actually- I probably ate the ones I held last year) and knew Addie and Ben would love to too.
And then it was time for the concert. It was muggy as all get out. The kids entertained themselves through the opening acts with taking pictures like the one above and going to the bathroom (poor Brian had to take them each separately at least 3 times!)
They also did this to entertain themselves. Thank God for cell phones that can get OnDemand videos!
We ended up staying for about 6 of Brad Paisley's songs and then they were spent. Oh well. It was a good first adventure. I think it was the stuffy seats and not moving around, because as soon as we were walking out they were awake and roaring to go.
