Oregon State Fair 2008

We went to the Oregon state fair on Sat. It was a blast.. Both girls had so much fun and we did too. Grandma came over to go with us. Kia had the best time with all the animals.. We saw the cows first and boy that is all she could say.. Cow..Cow... Then the goats were dogs for a bit. She was able to pet a mini pigmi goat.. it was very small. The owner took it out of the cage and let the girls pet it. Kia was not sure of the pigs. She touched them but then saw the face of one up close and she was out of there.

Eva was busy feeding all the goats she could.
We stopped at one exhibit and the girls were able to decorate their very own cookie..

We stopped and ate some lunch. Then it was off to the rides.. Poor Kia, she could only go on one of the rides. :( but Eva had a great time riding a few rides.
She went on this one all by herself..

Then Grandma and Eva went riding across the fairgrounds on the lift they have there. Kia, Todd and I met them on the other side.

Had to put this picture in..Her Unlce Larry will be so proud of her.. (he used to own a python. A very big python named Babe!) Dont worry I grabbed her hand right before she was able to touch the snakes head.. but she was able to touch the body of the snake several times.. This is actually an albino Python.

We ended the fair by seeing the miniature horses. All in all, we spent 6 hours at the fair and it was a great day.. NO!! melt downs. I was so very proud of the girls. Kia did not get a nap. I thought for sure she would just pass out in the truck. Nope.. not a chance, Grandma was back there and she was not going to miss a thing. We went through McD's and got dinner for Grandma and the girls, went home and Grandma said, "Go out". :) So Todd and I went out on a date!! The girls fell asleep at 7:30. I was very shocked they made it that long. Todd and I went out to dinner at Hotel Oregon and went to the movies. It was a WONDERFUL day!
