The State Fair

Gavin's class went on a field trip to the State Fair on Friday and I was able to go with him. By the time that we arrived we had just over 2 hours to see everything. My sister-in-law had told me how great the helping hands exhibit was, so we walked through some of the animals and made our way over to it. At the helping hands you start off by getting your apron and basket. Next you get some corn to feed the cow which in returns gives you some milk for your basket. Then you plant a seed and take your vegetable. Next we learned about sheep and wool, where you took some for your basket. Finally they turned in all that they had collected for a dollar that bought them a snack (fruit snack, cereal, milk, apple, etc) at the store. It was a lot of fun and FREE. Besides the stinky bus ride it was a lot of fun.
