The Big E

Today we found an awesome fair that is almost as good as the California State Fair, called "The Big E" in Springfield, Massachusetts. It takes an hour and a half to get out there, but it was definitely worth it!

The kids enjoyed the rides of course, but we also saw a pig race, a full-hour circus act, horses, cows, chicken, a petting zoo, and a big fat mama pig with greedy little piglets. Here are a few photos:

Can you believe someone actually carved this picture into a pumpkin?

Here's a small video montage:



It's hard to see, and I couldn't get a great shot, but the pure joy on Phillip's face while he was on the alligator roller coaster is awesome. He probably doesn't remember ever having been on a roller coaster before, and going with his big sister is a huge bonus. As soon as he got off, he says "Let's do it again!!"
