"Our State Fair is a Great State Fair..."

Well, I mean it tries at least. I don't know, I guess as I get older, the fair doesn't really seem as exciting. Marc and I felt just a tab bit disappointed with it, but maybe it was because we are eating healthier and not into all the deep fried oreos, frog legs (oh yes...FROG LEGS), and cheese raviolis. I mean, one of the best things about the fair is the food right? And when you're watching what you're eating, whats the point?

Well, the point was, my sister Whitney was showing a pig for FFA. She did great at County Fair, which we missed due to our Disneyland trip, so we decided to come check out her pig at State Fair. State Fair was a little tougher, and she didn't place like she did at County, but she still had fun. So we decided to go Monday for family night.

We entered the park on the side where all of the kiddie rides were. You could just see Montana's face light up, as she saw a little roller coaster and said, "Train, train!" Daddy said, "Oh doll, you're going to get some tickets out of me, aren't ya?" Luckily, we made it out without any carnival rides or games. We headed straight to the animals. Here is Montana by the sheep:

We soon found Aunt Whitney over with her piggy. Even covered in hay and pig poop, she is still beautiful.

Whitney had been watching another girls pig for her, and this pig was not used to other pigs. It was supposed to be kept seperate, but for some reason or another, it had gotten in with other pigs or something and started fighting. Whitney jumped in to stop them, and the pig bit her on her calf. It didn't break skin, but gave her one heck of a bruise. Her friend who was trying to help was not as lucky...he ended up with a bite to the crotch and had to go the ER. He's okay now. Whitney just said he was walking with a bit of a limp.

Here is the culprit. He was so ashamed, he couldn't even look at me! :)

I mean, she'd been dealing with pigs....

Aw, come here, sista...I love you despite the stench of pigs! jk, Whit. You did not stink at all.

But the barns did!

Tana got to pet the piggy...

Then we went to go see the baby piggies and cows. Montana loved the piglets. She kept sticking her arms out and saying, "Hold them!"

Okay, so even though we were trying to eat healthy, we went a little over to the fried side. Well, actually, Marc didn't, just Tana and I. We had corn dogs. Marc had tri tip.

I know this isn't a very flattering picture of you honey, and I'm sure you don't want me to post it, but I wanted to show you that there are some people who ordered fried frog legs. This girl next to Marc did. She said it tasted like a cross between chicken and fish. No thanks.

Then we walked around some of the exhibits. Here, Meg, this ones for you! We miss you guys!

Because we're smokin'! haha

After witnessing a couple get kicked out of the fair for stealing wine, cussing up a storm in front of their four kids, we kind of thought we didn't want to come back to the fair again. But, we usually always do, so...see ya again next year, California State Fair.
