State Fair

Monday was a holiday (Columbus Day), so we decided to make a family day out of it and took Piper to the State Fair. She loved seeing all the animals and the petting zoo.


She grew tired of her stroller very quickly and wanted to walk around and kept telling us "No and", as she wanted to walk by herself with neither of us holding her hand. This proved difficult with the crowd, so we found some open spaces at the petting zoo where she could roam. However, we had to curtail her new found freedom when she tried to climb in the pen with the mini-horse! Apparently standing right next to it and petting it just wasn't enough!

Next we headed to the carousel for a ride. She was so excited to get on and sit on one of the horses.
The ride started out great, she was having a blast...

Then she noticed the horse next to her (that had another child sitting on it) and she decided it was better than her horse. She grew quite unhappy when Daddy wouldn't tell the child to get off the horse so she could ride on it, while the ride was moving!


Sometimes, life lessons are hard when you're almost two!

She enjoyed some of the fair food. She spotted one of her favorite foods, pizza, and decided to give it a try. She also had some cotton candy for the first time.
