One of the first things we saw when we walked inside the gate to the fair, was the pony ride. Tiffany really wanted Kai to take a ride so we went to check it out. Turns out you have to be at least 9 months old to ride the ponies - dang, Karsen is about 6 months too young. Oh well, I guess he can go next year! But at least Kai go to do it!
He had no problem going for a ride:
I think his saddle was starting to slip to the side, luckily one of the guys working the ride fixed it:
We started to just walk around and we found a few tractors, so Walker and Kai got up to "test" one out.
Just as happy as can be! 
The day started out overcast and very mild, but then the sun came out! Time for sunglasses!
Kai wearing Tiffany's sunglasses: 
Me and Karsen wearing sunglasses. I'm wearing a pair of Tim's because I couldn't find mine and Karsen's don't really seem to want to stay on his nose:
We stopped for some food and then we found the animal petting area! I decided to take Karsen out of his stroller so that he could get a closer look at the animals, but I didn't let him touch any of them since he's still so young.
Getting a look at a baby cow: 
Up close and personal with a baby goat: 
Checking out the little pigs: 
Kai wanted to check them out too: 
More goats - Karsen's facial expressions reads "Can we get away from these stinky things now?"
They had a kid's area setup at the animal petting area, so we took the opportunity to take some pictures of Karsen...of course!
He didn't want to look at the camera: 
I got in one of the pictures too: 
After walking around all the farm animal houses, it was lunchtime for Karsen: 
We strolled around the fair grounds some more and this is what Karsen did most of the time: 
At 2 PM there was a Clydesdale show that we went to check out, plus it gave us an excuse to sit and rest our feet for a bit.
Just outside the arena for the show, the Brooks Family took a family photo..haha! 
Just inside the arena was an equestrian shop of some kind, so Walker tested out the cowboy hats: 
We sat in the stadium style seats in the front row so that we could keep an eye on our strollers. Kai turned into a monkey and was hanging on the railings: 
Kai is such a little cutie! 
As we were leaving the fair, we got some family pictures to remember the day.

The Freitag Family:
What a fun and tiring day! It was so fun taking Karsen to the fair! It will be more fun when he actually knows what's going on, and when he's able to go on rides! At least I got cotton candy and an elephant ear! Yum!
Love, Michaela

I love going to fairs!! Looks like you guys had a good time. I'm wondering what are elephant ears?? Is it a type of candy? Karsen looks so cute in the hay pictures, even if he wasn't looking directly into the camera. :)
Great pics! I love seeing these. It is really fun to read your blog Michaela :)
