The State Fair has arrived!

We have already been to the State Fair twice in the last week and will be going two more times this week. We get in so cheap thanks to my dad who drives to Indy at 6am every year for the world's largest drive thru breakfast. They give you a delicious breakfast burrito (seriously they are SOOO good), coupons for the food tents, coupons for free milk at the dairy stand, and a free admission ticket all for only $3. An admission ticket itself at the gate is $8 per person so it's a great deal. Thanks dad! We love to go so often because we can break it up so we are not so worn out and because there are some awesome concerts on the free stage EVERY night. That's our favorite part. The kids now love it too because they are up dancing the whole time (or as Kelsey calls it they are "shakin their booties"). We take one day to take them around to see animals and then a concert. Another day we go to the Kiddie Park they have set up with pony rides, elephant rides, tiger shows, playgrounds, etc., midway rides, and then a concert. There is a day with all the informational and educational booths and a concert. Finally there is one evening that Josh and I go alone and this year that was the Carrie Underwood concert! We were celebrating our 1oth year of being together and 7 years of marriage! I feel so old when I say that but it seems like it has just flown by. Anyway I am sure you get the idea about the concert thing. Oh, and did I mention the fatty but ever so good fair food? Anyway, we all have so much and love going back each year. It is so fun to see it through the kids eyes. They notice so much more this year than they did last year and it has just made it that much more enjoyable!
