State Fair 2012

Took the train to the fair again this year.  Brother Matt has a severe fear of trains. The anxiety on this face says it all.

He turns  to his mommy for comfort.

First stop animal barns to see the worlds largest pig and its large nards, which my dad could not stop commenting on.  Embarrassed by constant commenting,  we walked away.

 And then Danny struck again, making comments about the "gay " horses as they kiss eachother.

Here you see him laughing as they embrace over their cages.

The kids did the "little farm hands" this year. They loved it!

Milking cows

If this picture doesn't spell Indiana, I don't know what does.

Finally after the trampoline show it was time to hit the midway rides. But first, how tall are we this year?

First stop, Barney the Dinosaur. Lame.

I went on this thing last year, but decided against it this year.  Katie and Ashley rode it..... Do you see them?

She lost her shoe after this thrill ride.

This picture haunted my dreams that night.

And this too.-  I think Dad hit the maximum weight limit for this one. Matt and I laughed so hard we almost peed our pants because we thought dad was going to fall out.

And oh yes, the State Fair blog post would not be completed without a "People of the Indiana State Fair" section.

Ah yes. these two are anxiously awaiting their couples smoke. As seen by the 2 lonesome cigarettes awaiting them in the drink holder of their baby stroller... Real smooth they are.

This carnival ride worker is a real looker. The messy hair look is flawless.

Not many post state fair train sleepers this year.

We did have one injury to report.  Bloody toe - Brian Hamilton.  I am not sure what happened.
