Today we headed down to the Santa Clara State Fair with Lisa and Kaleb! They picked us up around 9am, and we stopped for treats (coffee for moms, organic vanilla milk for boys) at Starbucks first...then we were off. We had Kaleb's wagon, and the boys were set!
We stopped at the animal exhibit first. There were a million sheep, goats, lambs, and cow's. They all looked so nice and groomed (because they were in show) and they were generally really friendly! There was one big sheep who was very loud...and when we first heard her "Baaaa" Gavin JUMPED up in my arms, and screamed! Haha it was pretty funny that he was so scared of her loud noise! Once he chilled out, he was able to pet some of them, and even see some babies:) Kaleb loved all of them, and could have stayed in there forever!
Next we headed to the next building where there were supposedly a lot of plants to see...we did not see them...we only made it to the corn feed play table:) They had a huge table set up with feed corn for the kids to play with...G and K were in absolute heaven...a new texture, and a ton of cups and bowls to scoops with...who would have thought that a huge table of corn could be so fun! (The concentration on their faces was priceless...so serious! Gavin had his entire upper body laying in the corn...he even tried to get up on the table and LAY in it!!
Next it was the ride on tractors. The boys could not reach the petals yet, but they still had fun:) Kaleb even pulled Gavin on the back of his:) After the tractors, we stopped at the music section...and that was probably the most fun! Gavin seems to know how to work each and every instrument, by just looking at it first...He had a blast with all the instruments, especially the drums:)
We ended the day with a picnic under the shade of a big tree...watching all the people at the fair...and a HUGE monster truck drive around. The boys were actually more interested in the Chevy SUV's that they had on display...we let them climb around on the inside and pretend to be driving:)
It was a big challenge to keep G awake on the ride home...his eyes were heavy after 2 minutes driving...whats new? We sure had a fun day at the fair with Lisa and Kaleb:)
