State Fair 2011

Today we ventured out for our annual VA State Fair tradition... going on a rainy, cold day just to the animal and tractor side then eating at Bass Pro Shops for lunch on the way home :)  Remembering our trip last year was a great way to see how much Charlie has changed in a year!  He was still a little shy about going up to the animals but was all about climbing all over the tractors.

First some comparisons...

And some other things we saw...

A little shy by the chickens

Donkeys!

Cows! We saw A LOT of cows.

Goats or are they sheep?

Goats!

Tractors...

and more tractors (technically this is a digger)...

and more tractors!

Lunch at the Bass Pro Shops is always interesting.  Not exactly my kind of place but it is interesting to see a bunch of stuffed animals once a year I suppose.

Last year... not so sure about the bear.

This year... pretty sure he hates the bear.

After the restaurant buzzer went off he was a little more open to looking at it.  I don't blame him... it is gross and scary.
