The Big E!!

Last Saturday Kristin, Dan, and I went to The Big E for some fun and excitement. It doesn't seem like as much fun when you are older, but we had a good time nonetheless. We didn't buy anything too exciting...kettle corn, beef jerky, maple cotton candy, Otter Creek beer, Kristin got knives, and we had to have a fresh cider donut and root beer. The states building are our favorite!!

The cutest little pig and piglets! I don't think the mother was happy the piglets were walking around where she was trying to find food - she keep knocking them away with her snout. I know - we are easily entertained

Like little kids, we went to the petting zoo where you could feed the animals for a quarter. Dan enjoyed it, even going back for a second round of food.
For those who have never been to The Big E - there is a big yellow slide that you can ride down on a potato sack. We all took a ride down, but I had to stop and take a picture of Dan making his first ever trip down the big yellow slide. It looks like he is having more fun that the little girl next to him!
We wanted to take a break, so we decided to watch a show in The Coliseum. This show ended up being awesome - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride. The horses rode around in some crazy choreographed formations. It was like a marching band on horseback.I was waiting for them to run into one another, but it never happened. We were impressed!

Where is the big E? I love that picture of Dan on the slide! Look at his face!

We love the facial expressions on Dan in the two pictures. He IS having more fun than the little girl beside him. She has probably been going down the slide for years and this is just his first trip.
