Nebraska State Fair

The Nebraska State Fair saying farewell to Lincoln and moving to Grand Island coupled with the fact that in our 15 years in Nebraska neither Travis nor I have ever actually been to the fair, prompted us to load the girls up in the bike trailers on Saturday afternoon and pedal down to state fair park to check it out for ourselves.

It was a great afternoon, and we actually could have left the fair without ever even having stepped foot on the midway. Emme and Sutton LOVED the animals and the afternoon felt a little like best-in-show livestock edition! We watched goats being shown and the girls were mesmorized by the horses being shown.

We finally made our way to the midway, where we did all the things one should do at a fair... We ate hotdogs, corndogs, drank lemonade and smoothies and experienced the famous pineapple whip (which by the way was amazing!). We played games and Daddy won each of the girls a stuffed animal. We (or I should say Emme) also made sure to ride a number of the carnival rides.

So, it was well worth the trip and I actually said to Travis on our way out that I just might consider a trip to Grand Island next summer--the pineapple whip was to-die-for!

PS - Yes, Emme is officially a fashionista--the cheerleading outfit and soccer shoes were absolutely her idea :)
