Kentucky State Fair

This weekend we decided to go to the Kentucky State Fair. Apparently we weren't thinking when we decided to do this, as this was the first weekend of the fair, so everyone and their brother was at the fair. Kentucky fairs aren't our favorite to go to...too many snobby people accompany their unreasonably priced horses that aren't good for much but expensive lawn ornaments, and they all think rules don't apply to them because they drive a Mercedes or a Lexus...ooh, I'm impressed! Anywho, once we made it through all the crowds and of course a couple stops at the bathrooms, it was time to go look at animals. We went to look at the chickens which proved later to be the highlight of our trip! Caitlyn went to look at the roosters, and said that this one was her favorite...this scrawny lookin' like it's inches from death rooster is her favorite. I laughed so hard and said she had to take a picture with him. Gotta love this kid.

So of course, Allison had to have a picture with her favorite chicken as well. She's so goofy.
When they were done posing with their chickens, we walked down the other aisles of chickens/roosters. The girls discovered that if they crowed at some of the roosters, they would crow back. Yeah, you know where this one is going. The rest of the time we were in there, all they did was crow at the roosters to see if they would do it back. Several of them did, which made the girls giggle hysterically. Allison was probably the funniest about it because initially she didn't want to crow, but rather growl. She's lucky she didn't get pooped on! And of course we had to go watch the border collies herd up some ducks (one of my favorite things to see). We missed out on all the horse stuff because it didn't start til the day after we went. We usually like to watch the draft horse pulls. It was a very long and exhausting day...my knees felt like they were on fire (guess it's time for a new pair of boots!), but it was a good family day none-the-less!
