Chase riding the Lion toy in the Kidz Safari Zone
The pretty giraffe
The camel that kissed Chase. I don't remember if this was before the kiss or after, I just wish I'd caught the kiss on camera!
The kangaroo
We thought this cow was kind of interesting. They had a bunch of fuzzy cows like this one, which none of us had ever seen before, so Kyle and I named them "Teddy Bear" cows.
Last Friday we went to the Arizona State Fair with Brad and Jamie and we had a blast! For as long as I'd lived in Arizona the state fair would come every year, and I only remember going once, during the day on a field trip. We didn't go on any rides or get to really see or do anything fun there and I can't even remember what the point of the field trip was at all. So I always thought the state fair was lame growing up, and I never had the desire to go. Needless to say I was definitely proved wrong, we had so much fun!
Chase loved seeing all the animals. They have a huge petting zoo with camels and giraffes and even a kangaroo! I had never seen a kangaroo up close and it was pretty awesome. Chase got a big sloppy kiss from the camel which was a big surprise to him and a good laugh to everyone who saw it!
They have performers on the weekends and the night we went Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert were performing. We were sad we didn't get to stay late enough to see them because we heard the concert was amazing! Kyle was really sad that the week before was the Goo Goo Dolls. He would've loved to see them perform. Maybe next year though!
We were able to make it to the bear show though, and they had 2 baby grizzly bears and 2 brown bears. The two brown bears in the show, "Fred" and "Ginger", were actually the same bears that they used to make the movie Bother Bear. They did a ton of cool tricks and we had a lot of fun watching them.
We cooled off with the best fresh strawberry lemonade I've ever tasted and topped off the night with a yummy melt in your mouth funnel cake! Not the healthiest of treats, but what would a trip to the fair be without funnel cake? All in all we had a great time and we were so glad we went! Here are some pictures of our evening...

FUN!!! The State Fair reminds of when I ditched with you know who in H.S. HA HA!!! It looks like you guys had a blast!
It looks like you guys had a good time. I didn't know they'd have things for little kids like Chase at the fair, that's good to know. And don't worry, you can never go to the fair without eating food that's terrible for you, but that's what makes it the fair!
I can't believe Chase got kissed by a camel. I would have freaked out! Kids are so cute with animals.
