State Fair

In contrast to my last post, this is a snippet of our day at the Wisconsin State Fair.  I think this was Elias' longest roadtrip, and he did just great, even though most the time it was obvious that I like fairs more than he does.

County Fair

Tonight the two of us went to the Dane County Fair. Elias did pretty well. His favorite part seemed to be strolling through the carnival; I of course go for the livestock. He also really liked the rows and rows of cattle--he kept mooing to them. He also baaed to the sheep and maaed to the goats. I didn't hear much conversation with the other animals, although he continuously waved to the chickens as he wheeled by. We shared some chocolate yogurt, a corndog, a strawberry smoothie, and a famous Wisconsin cream puff. He enjoyed all the new food, but the sugar overload made me feel a little ill. The video clip is about 5 seconds of him groovin to the live Mexican music, La Movida. (Incidentally, his left eye is all swollen due to a bug bite. He swells up terribly with some of them.)
