After grabbing a bite to eat, the dynamic toddler duo made a pass through the educational building. There Tate found the pictures his mommy entered of him. (He scored a pair of third place ribbons...what do those dumb judges know!) As Tate and his sweetie were heading out to the midway they shared an ear of roasted corn. Yummy!
The kiddos rode the Merry-Go-Round, a car ride, the train and the jumbo slide. Next they played a grab-the-ducky game. Tate won a toy car and Emmalynn won a tiara.
As the night was winding down Tate said goodbye to his little lady companion, but continued with his fair experience, pressing on to the petting zoo. Tate was having an absolute blast feeding carrots to the pygmy goats and other various critters. Then it happened! The Bug was feeding this one animal, an alpaca (sp?) or something like that. It was a tall, white, mop-headed looking creature. Anyhow, Tate was feeding him a carrot when the beast bit my baby! For a split second Tater Bug was stunned. He didn't know what to think. Then he let out a blood curdling scream. That stupid beast broke the skin on one of Tate's little fingers. We rushed to the front of the big petting zoo tent and were given an antiseptic wipe to clean the wound. The only thing the guy manning the tent had to say was: Was he holding the carrot flat in the palm of his hand?
Of course not, but none of the other animals tried to take a plug out of him! I was irate, but kept it together pretty well if I do say so myself.
By this point it was really starting to get late and we hadn't hit the commercial building. So, to help with the calming down process, we made a quick sweep through the commercial building.
It didn't take long for Tate to find food. I'm not sure of the name of the booth, but one of the women working it not only offered him a bite of something, but feed it too him!
All in all I would say Tate had a good time at the fair.
