We spent the day at the Indiana State Fair with dear friends doing everything you can do at a fair. As state fairs go, it was very impressive - clean, well-organized, and a perfect array of all the foods I wanted to inhale.
Quinn watched everyone ride the rides
Whit played ONE game (I could barely handle the obscene cost for these things, and now understand why my parents almost never encouraged me to play them growing up) and he won a pretty cool giant bouncy ball.
We posed for obligatory photos
We learned all about how food goes from farm to table in a very impressive kids exhibit
And most exciting of all, we spent a LOT of time with pigs - Hampshires and Yorkshires to be exact. It was super interesting to a nerd like me. My friend Hallie's family has a pig farm in OH and they always come show at the IN State Fair. She and her husband actually met showing pigs when they were young - love at first swine. It was so fun to learn all about what they do to raise and show these 400 lb. hams.
The event was a family affair - here you see Hallie's sister Hannah wrangling one back to the pen after its auction, and her son helping. You see farmers doing this while looking like they are going out for a night on the town, as you can see Hannah wearing very nice clothes and jewelry. LOVE that.

Another wonderful visit with Ella and Emerson!
