And Going and Going.......

Missouri State Fair

We trekked out to the Missouri State Fair and I was amazed at the amount of pigs they had on display.

You'll see lots of pics of the place in this post because, like I already said, I was amazed.

I mean, look at the size of the building.

We got to see lots of cute little animals.  They also had an impressive amount of rabbits.

Pony rides!!! 

  I remember loving to do this as a child, so I had to let the kids get their turn.

I was a honey bee for a moment

Check out those pumpkins and melons.  They were so pretty!

The kids loved milking the play cow

So much fun!

It was sooooo hot!  Nice...we found a water spritzing fan.

Merry-Go-Round!

More fun!

Lizzie was driving her little boat so intently.

Such a cutie pie

Stevie paid to be a hampster in a floating ball with his very own money

Lizzie went on the choo choo train

Stevie going down the big slide....we couldn't talk Lizzie into it.

Up in the air in the Ferris Wheel

Pretty nice view!

See that big building?  That's the Swine Barn.  Huge isn't it!

Bumper cars!

I watched some girl pick her noise over and over again on this ride.  She kept on getting on and off and picking her nose.  I hope we didn't sit in her seat!  Lol!

There it is again!  The magnificent Swine Barn.  I told you I was amazed.

Lizzie and I took a trip to the restrooms before leaving and found this on the wall.  I didn't see any brown crayons around.....Gross!!!!

What a beautiful day.  This was as we were leaving the city.   

Peaches!

Had to can some peaches, of course!

Steve's a good daddy.  Playing with Lizzie's hair.

She is her mother's daughter.  It's important to lick the plate if the food is too good to even throw away a little morsel.

Gross!!  Messy Stevie.
