the missouri state fair

If you have been reading this blog for awhile you will know my love for all things state fairs. I love going to them. There is something about the smell of fried food and mustard that just makes this girl's heart swoon and the fact that my kids enjoy going just as much as i do makes it all worth it too.

There is just something about watching your kids light up and get excited when they hear a turkey gobble or a horse neigh right in fun of you. Those expressions are just priceless.

We had such a wonderful day at the fair creating so many fun and wonderful memories along the way. I love that we are able to do this each summer, definitely a good way to say goodbye to summer as school will be starting in just a couple days!
