Illinois State Fair 2009


GIANT Slide

This is "Sancho", the steer

This year's state fair was Paytons second go around. We participated in the twilight parade on Thursday night. This is the kick-off for the eleven day event. On Friday, we returned to sample a gyro from the Greek tent. Payton definitely gives it a thumbs up! We went again this past Friday with Ty. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating, so we only stayed for a couple hours. Needless to say, Payton was not as impressed with the Filipino food (pancit), as the Greek food. We returned again on Saturday with Grandpa and Alexis. Payton was able to pet farm animals at the 4H area, watch a monkey show, ride the giant slide, and eat more junk food than I even want to talk about. I have to say that her most interesting experience was sitting on Sancho the steer.
