Hopkinton State Fair, September 2nd

On Sunday morning, we packed Kaylee up after breakfast and headed over to the Hopkinton State Fair. It was a beautiful day...and Kaylee seemed to be enjoying the sunshine.
What is that has captured Kaylee and Daddy's attention?Why its the miniature horse show...Kaylee was mesmerized as they trotted in the ring past her.
Why who is this that just happened to stop by? Its our friends Phil, Jackie and Emily (Jackie not pictured, she was right beside me taking pictures herself.)
Next up...the llamas! Kaylee and Emily were entranced by these guys.
Kaylee even ventured a closer look, in the safety of Daddy's arms of course.
Can't be too careful you know...we learned that llama's ears go back when they're thinking about spitting...and this guy's ears were back a lot!
And what have we moved onto now that has Kaylee's attention?
The cows of course.
Or is it the sheep?
Or even this cute little goat?
Yup, Kaylee liked the goats well enough. But they were nothing...compared to the ducks!

"Ducks are pretty cool," Kaylee says while munching on her lunch of chicken...almost sacrilege I think!
And she seemed to like the big horsies almost as well as the miniature ones.
Well Kaylee...if you like horses, have we got a surprise for you!
"A surprise Mommy?" Kaylee asks with glee, "What is it?"
Its time for Kaylee's first Carousel Ride!
We sat her on her horse and she seemed to like it right away.
"High-ho Silver," Kaylee seems to say, urging her horse to get moving. As we started to move, Kaylee held on with both hands like a good little horse rider.
And as we gained speed, she wasn't sure about things for a moment.
But by the end, she was an expert; riding side-saddle and all smiles again!
We asked Kaylee what she thought of the experience...I think her answer is pretty obvious!
"Now its Emily's turn to ride the carousel with her family," Kaylee says all with just a point of a finger.
So shall Kaylee say, so shall it be done! Emily seemed to really like the ride as well!
"So girls...what did you think of the fair?" Again, I think that answer is fairly obvious!
Woo-hoo, I am caught up on posts!
