We have been to the Virginia and Maryland state fairs so we thought we knew what to expect going to the Indy one this weekend. Well, we had no idea how HUGE it was. It was easily the Maryland and Virginia ones put together and possibly even bigger than that. I have never seen so many food stands in my life! There was also way more rides than we were expecting.
We did a ton of walking. Had I known how big it was I would have brought the double stroller, because Evan was exhausted from all the walking not even half way through. But, we ate good, had some fresh ice cream (cows were the theme of the whole fair), rode a few rides, saw some lego exhibits and Evan even got to ride a pony. It was a great day. Oh, and we lucked out on weather. It has been a VERY hot and humid summer here (drought conditions and one of the worst summers they have on record since the early 1900's) and most days have been hotter here than in Virginia. But, on the day we went to the fair it was upper 60's/low 70's and perfect.

Oh and in other news...My parents 14th grandchild and 10th grandson, Brandon David was born on Thursday August 9th! So, Julie and Phil now have boy, girl, boy. We are so bummed to not be there to see him and will have to wait until October to meet him at his baptism.
