Milwaukee day 3

The first time I went to Milwaukee we visited the fair with Allison and Ben. I planned my trip to make sure we could do it again, because it really has some of the cutest things for families. Every year the Friday before labor day Ben takes the day off and they headed to the fair. This year my boys and I joined them as well as the Wheeler family (some really good friends of theirs). Our day consisted of a lot of fun. We saw lots of animals. Which the boys and loved and pretty much when crazy over. Sometimes the owners of the animals would come up to the boys and ask them if they wanted to pet the animals. Then they would help them pet them. They would go crazy when the actually got to touch the animals. We went to the pig races which was a lot of fun. I think Liam really loved watching them run around and he would cheer really loud.

After the pig races we went to my favorite part of the fair which is this giant tent. Inside the giant tent you get a basket and you go around a cute little garden picking fruit and veggies. You also go up to a fake cow and milk it, you pick up some meat and then after you go around this whole thing you take it up to a little "Store" and sort your stuff. After you sort it you get paid, and you can take you money a buy either milk, string cheese or some sort of dairy product. It is so much fun watching the kids do that, and see their little brains grow. In this tent they also have some fun little tractor you can drive and a butterfly barn where you can hold the a stick with sugar on the end a butterflies will land on it. They also had a little kids show that the kids got to be a part of and they had a lot of fun doing that.

After we had enough fun in the ten we headed over to the food and started eating up all the yummy food. I have to admit we did a lot better this time, then the last time I went. Meaning I didn't eat near as much, but we still had a lot of yummy fun stuff. We finished up our trip by stopping by the horses. Which of course I knew would make Liam go crazy. He just loved seeing all the horses. The fair did not disappoint.
