The Ohio State Fair

In keeping with a very old tradition, T took Sophie to the State Fair today.  It was all about animals today. Soph is not fond of the rides, although she did try out some of the tamer ones.  Both of us went down the giant slide together and I must say, neither one of us were prepared for the experience.  Needless to say, we only did that once.  Her favorite was the pony ride and she enjoyed the horse shows in the coliseum all day long.  It took three tries before she had the courage to milk the cow.  With tired feet and legs, we called it a day and what a day it was.






This was the favorite activity.  Too bad it didn't last longer. Go cowgirl!


This has been a favorite for three years now.



Sophie was all smiles until the ride started and then it took her by surprise.  We had to stop the ride and get her off.



Ahhhh....bumper boats.  Sounds like fun but Sophie thought the other kids were being mean when they ran into her.


I think Sophie managed to feed every animal in the petting zoo.


The turkeys were a fun stop.


One of our rest stops to enjoy fresh squeezed lemonade--the coliseum!



What a cowgirl!!


Hello everyone.


We finally got some milk!!!
Next year, all the girls get to go--put on your walking shoes.

  1. Looks like a fun day. You really did it all. I can see why Sophie got worn out. Annie was very impressed that Sophie got to ride a crocodile.
