We went on Sunday, mostly so Nathan could go to the petting zoo... But we had a lot of fun, even though we only got to see a small portion before someone was ready to go home (hint: it wasn't Nathan).
Walking along the main street of the fair, classic cars show to the right, all the fried food you could imagine to the left, ferris wheel way in the distance.
Entrance to the Indian Village pavillion. Lots of tasty Indian food, we had a fry bread taco for lunch (yes, it is as unhealthy as it sounds). We watched the tribal dances, while Nathan clapped along. I didn't get any photos because I was having too much fun watching Nathan :-)
At the Lego exhibit (what else would you find at a state fair?). Nathan taming the lion!
We had to drag Nathan away from the duplo blocks eventually so we could actually see the rest of the state fair. Gee, wonder where he gets those spatial abilities (hint, this is key for engineering).
Another type of engineering. This was Michael's favorite spot as a kid at the state fair. Nathan was positively riveted watching the trains go by. I was amused by the all Maine railroad signs hung up on the wall.
The petting zoo! Didn't go exactly as planned, because Nathan was overdue for lunch at this point. So every time we gave him food for the animals, he tried to eat it. But he loved the goats, was a little scared of the bison and cow.
Tractor ride, brought to you by McDonalds... He will recognize those golden arches soon enough!
What is more state fair than sitting on a hay bale in a silo? Happy trails everyone!
