Yesterday we went to the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. Although Robert has lived in Kansas 30 years, he had never been to the state fair, let alone Hutch. Because he grew up in the Kansas City area, he inherited the attitude that everything west of Topeka is on another planet. Living in far southwest Kansas has been an eye-opener for him. We had a fun time and the boys really enjoyed the carnival rides. We set a $50 limit but boy, we sure could have spent four-times that amount. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive to Hutch so we had a full day. 
Adam and Matt enjoyed feeding and petting the animals in the petting zoo. This goat not only ate Adam's food, he ate his cup.

Although Matt's face doesn't show it, both he and Adam were in heaven when they saw this GIANT gumball machine.
Adam's in the 3rd car back--the brown-haired kid
Matt and Robert went on the dragon coaster. Too bad I couldn't get a closer shot. Matt's face was a cross between jubilation and terror. They're in the first car.
We even got to see pig races.
Here's Adam high above the fair in the ferris wheel.

FUN!!! I used to LOVE the State Fair when I was growing up. We were going to go to ours but other more important things came up (buying a car and unpacking....). I think the young one is still too little to really enjoy it but she would have been thrilled by the petting zoo. Maybe next year....
We are going to the State Fair tomorrow- The Puyallup! Hope we have as much as fun as your boys did.
Seeing Matt and Adam on the rides reminds me of fun times at Lagoon.
