MD State Fair 2012

I love the Maryland State Fair.  The County Fair is fun too, but the Maryland one is the best!  Jocelyn and I have a busy week next week getting her ready for preschool, more coming on that soon, so I decided to take her yesterday.  It was the perfect day to go.  It was the first day of the fair and in the middle of a weekday, so it wasn't very crowded at all.  Jocelyn is now big enough to ride on many of the rides and there were lots of them for her age!  We had invited friends, but it ended up just being the two of us, and in the end, I was glad.  We had a lot of fun together, just the two of us.

Playing in soybeans!

We found Nemo!

We also got to see a chicken hatching from an egg, and baby piglets only an hour old, as well as lots of other baby animals.  We watched pig races, played games, and checked out a real bees hive. 

We're going to be wrapping up the summer fun on Monday with our annual trip to Sesame Place and we can't wait for that!!
In the meantime, here's a fun photo of my little one trapped in a sea of birthday balloons for a friend... just because she's so cute!
