As a side note, that morning I had taken Anderson to the nursery at church for the first time. I love having him with me during the service, but he's old enough he'd rather play than sit quietly on my lap for an hour. Still, I was near tears dropping him off. Turns out he did great. He was so comfortable that at about 10 (an hour before his normal nap time), he laid down on the floor. Cathy, who keeps the toddlers, picked him up and said after a couple of books he was all cuddled up and asleep. :) I was glad he felt so at home, but he completely messed up the nap schedule I had so carefully planned for our fair day. With no real nap all day, as I said, he was sleepy/ snugly throughout the fair. Not sure that was a bad thing, though........ :)
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our day:
Right as we walked in, there was a petting zoo. Anderson was most interested in the goats. However, they had a long-horn, camel, and even kangaroo, too!
Taking advantage of my good-natured boys again :) Aren't they cute little cows??
Grandma helping Anderson see the grizzly bear demonstration.
Family photo...see the goat under the bridge?
A corn-box was a fun surprise. Anderson was a little unsure of the antics going on in the rest of the box, though...
Taking a break and playing with spoons with grandma. Wild-man face below!
Cute picture with grandma and grandpa- and the spoons (we tried again without spoons, but this was the best one anyways :) )

Second family photo-op
Let's all take a moment and think how CUTE Anderson would have looked sitting here and smiling all by himself. As you can see, HE did not like my idea at all :(
