State Fair and a back-to-school picnic {Sept. 7}

Today, we decided to go to the state fair at the last minute. We go every year, but weren't sure we wanted to go this year. But, since it's such a tradition in our household, we packed up the kids, drinks, and a stroller, and headed to the great state get together. We had a nice time. The weather was beautiful, and we tired the kids out with a few rides at the beginning. I was surprised Amelia liked them as much as she did.
We ate our traditional pronto pup, cheese curds, and corn on the cob. We took our photo in the photo booth and visited the new birth barn. Mira was enthralled with the baby chickens.
Chris took Mira into the butterfly house. Not quite my thing. I don't like insects flying around and landing on me. Amelia and I watched from the safety of outside.

Then we all came home for naps. For dinner, Mira, Amelia, and I had a picnic on our front yard. It was really fun to do something different before school starts for Mira tomorrow. She's really looking forward to it. I still haven't resolved the bus stop issue, but I'm not done complaining about it yet! Wish me luck! I'd hate to have to change daycare or school because of it.

Mira learned to snap recently, so she snaps all the time. Tonight, she "snapped" me "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Guess what? It sounds like any other song when it's snapped! I was laughing so hard because Mira actually thought it sounded like "Twinkle, Twinkle."
