State Farm Play Day

One of the great things State Farm does for us is give us our very own carnival on a Saturday in June. Today, I was disappointed when I woke up because it was pouring rain, but the tickets said "rain or shine" so I quickly did some housework, and Nathan and I headed down there. (The carnival is a bit "kiddie" so I didn't take the bigger girls. Besides, they were barely out of bed by the time we got home!) First off, Nathan got the biggest thrill of his life. He finally got to ride a yellow school bus! We parked at Corporate South and rode a bus to State Farm Park, and Nathan was in heaven! Truth be told, he was a little scared on that bus. Once at the park, he got to ride a few rides, feed some farm animals, ride a horse and eat treats galore. He's worn out now, resting in his room despite being covered in mud. The park was so muddy the events of today surely ruined the grass in many places, but sure was a good time! The first pic I posted is of Nathan almost completing a whole bag of cotton candy -- look how gooey good it was! When he was done, he said, "Water, water!" The second pic is him on the mini-scrambler. Too funny!

Sounds a lot like the Herman Miller company picnic. Our's is a lot of fun with rides and games for children and games for adults as well. We get a lot of good prizes and good food.

Unfortunately, this year the picnic is the same day as the Worldwide Klopfenstein Reunion.
