And oh, how I'm bummed that this is the first year in my entire life that I have to miss it. :(
Although I can't go the state fair this year, there's a big festival coming up next month that has a fair-like feel to it, so that's exciting! And over the weekend, I went to a petting zoo, which kind of felt like being in the animal barns at the fair.
Here's looking at you, kid. ;)
It's not every day that you see an ostrich sticking its head out the window!
These are actually racing pigs! You can't see it in the picture, but there's a nearby track that they use, haha.
The petting zoo is located at the base of a mountain that is a popular ski area in the winter. We took the ski lift up to the top to overlook a beautiful view. A few pictures...
The gals -- Yukiko (Kenji's daughter) and me.
The guys -- Julian and Oliver. These are the fellas I'm going to Thailand with in November. (with Liz, too!)
Group shot, taken by Kenji. I had a nice time hanging out with them yesterday. :)I hope you have a nice time hanging out at the state fair if you haven't gone yet! By the way, I checked out the fair's Web site the other day just for fun, and I learned that one of the new foods this year is chocolate-covered bacon!?!
Please try it for me and let me know what you think, ok? I'm curious to know. Thanks!
