State Fair 2011

This year, the State Fair snuck upon us and we didn't have a chance to get to the fair together as a family. I really wanted to take Eli this year because we have taken him each year of his life and I thought this would be the year he would enjoy the animals the most! I took off Friday, Sept. 2nd (also Nick and my 6th Wedding Anniversary) so that I could take Eli. We had a wonderful day... Although, Eli was a bit disappointed that the fair didn't have any camels, zebras, or giraffes. Other than that, he had a great time!
