State Fair Fun

Kyle and I have not missed a Wisconsin State Fair since 2012 when we first started dating. Probably the most memorable year was 2017 when I was just 5 days away from giving birth! That year was strange too because it was legitimately cold! I remember wearing a jacket the whole time. And I had to take bathroom breaks very, very frequently!

For Violet's first State Fair last year she was blissfully pushed around the whole time in her stroller. This was pre-walking and she was still in the wonderful morning nap stage.

Cool girl ready for action 2019

Fast forward to this year and we have a marching, potty trained toddler leading the way! We started by trying some different flavored milk at the Bucks booth. She does not yet have the hang of drinking from a regular cup which resulted in some spills but she thought it was delicious none the less. And of course she had to sit next to the "teddy bear" for a picture!

Then we continued with breakfast in the Wisconsin products pavilion; our favorite. The breakfast pizza was gone between Kyle and V before I got a picture! Apple cider donuts are our other favorite. 

We moved on to the animals; my least favorite LOL. Curious Miss V was super curious however and loved every minute. She wanted to touch and pet everything.

There were some big tractors to climb on near the animals. V has always been curious of all things farm so she loved looking at these too.

I could drive this thing no problem!

Dad did take V on the big slide too. I think it happened so fast she did not have a chance to react. We also enjoyed walking through the garden section and there were some kid games involving water and sand that V wanted to explore.  Lastly, we headed to the indoor shopping part and here is the hands down best piece of parenting advice I can give...don't take a stroller into the exhibit hall area...EVER! Under any circumstances!!! Needless to say we were out of there very quickly and learned our lesson! On to next year!
