We went to the Lancaster County Fair Thursday evening when Dad got off work.  I think it's the best place I have ever been!  We walked around the rides, but I don't think I was quite ready for them so now I have something to look forward to next year!  I got my first sucker from a nice guy at the Lincoln Democrats booth.  They sure know how to get my vote!  My favorite part by far though were all the animals.  I got to see big girls riding horses and liked to point at them and say "neigh".  I also liked to clap for the girls and say "Yay" when they did a good job.  I couldn't believe all the neat animals they had in cages.  I kept trying to touch them, but as you can see in a couple of pictures Dad kept pulling my hand back.  Sometimes I think he is a little overprotective, but I guess it's a good thing to keep all my fingers.  Some nice boy let me pet a chicken.  It's not a great picture, but he was so soft.  I was pretty amazed by the birds and really wanted to pet a goat, but these didn't get close enough.  I figured out the best way to get the goats to come to me was to get Mom to buy them some food.  It's always funny when they eat from my hand.  I also got to see a horse up close, but I really wanted Dad to put me down so I could get a closer look.  On our way out we got everyone's favorite treat - a funnel cake!  Next year I will get to share all the fun with my baby sister.  I can't wait!
