Nebraska State Fair

Kaylee 's teacher had talked about the fair, so she came home from school and REALLY wanted to go. So we decided to try and make it. We had a really good evening. We saw animals, including some tiny baby goats, newborn pigs and cows and even a baby zebra and kangaroo. One thing the kids loved was watching the chicks hatching. We could watch as they pecked and pecked and finally popped their heads out. Maybe that is why they were so intrigued with the egg from our chickens. They were hoping for a baby chick:) Actually, when I think about it, we could have baby chicks... we do have a rooster! And I have seen him gettin' busy with the ladies. I had never seen that before--wow!! I guess I'm becoming a farm girl after all??? Anyway, back to the fair...
We also got to see some entertainment-- the high diving act , the pig races and the dock dogs. They were all fun to watch. And of course we had to have some fair food, although the cost of the food, helped us keep it to a minimum!! We ended the night with some fair rides. We had a good night. However, on our way out , the kids were almost trampled by a heifer! They were standing and watching them get a cow ready to be shown and I guess got too close and the cow went crazy-- scared us all to death!!! An exciting end to the night.
