State Fair



Last week Cory's parents, Uncle and Aunt, Cousin's, and sister came to Columbus to join us at the state fair. So I got to tell you that it was again the highlight of my summer. The fair never fails to excite and entertain me. We started out before noon so we could partake of the wonderful food at the fair. But to say we paid attention to any specific meal time would not adequately express how much we ate throughout the day.

The highlight to this year's state fair was totally the baby animals. Very cute little piglets BUT I also got to see a cow giving birth to a calf (with a little assistance). Click on our online gallery to see photos of this. I have never seen anything give birth before and neither had Cory's cousin Mark who wanted to know why a lot more than a baby cow came out.


The finale of the evening was a Kenny Roger's concert. Both Cory and I agreed that the concert was a completely surreal experience. Women were ready to throw themselves at Kenny and I had to wonder if I'll some day be an older women yelling at a stage full of over the hill members of Belle and Sebastian. Poor Kenny seems a bit embittered in his old age and his facelife is AWFUL! There are pictures of Kenny from afar in our online gallery but I liked the picture posted above of our fellow concert goer.

yee-haw.
