Holy Cabbage Batman!

Thursday, I spent the day with my fantastic neighbors (Chris, Kirsten and Addison) at the Alaska State Fair held in Palmer. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun! There was so much to see, we were there for over 4 hours.

The farm exhibits were fun to check out. There were a lot of giant vegetables! Can you believe the size of this cabbage?!

If they wouldn't have labeled this I never would have guessed it. It is a puffball! Can you imagine stepping on this one? You would be covered in the 'puff stuff' that comes out. It was cool!

Addison sitting in front of the cabbage for scale. Of course her baby had to sit up there too! She is the sweetest!

This guy was having a bad hair day! Check out his fro.

Cute little baby pigs!

A funny man and his juggling act. He was juggling fire but by the time I got over there he had switched tricks. I must say, the fire was way cooler!

We went to the Fred Scheer's Lumberjack Show. I had never been to one so it was pretty interesting. I had no idea how strong these guys had to be when preforming these tasks. Here is Cassidy gaffing up the pole. Very cool! He gave his opponent a head start of more than half the pole and he still beat him back to the bottom.

We were cheering for the guy on the left. We were sitting on his 'side' of the arena. He won by default. Winning is winning right!?

When we stopped at a booth to play Rat Race, I didn't think it would involve a real rat! We lost. The rat picked the green hole to scurry into!

I had a really good time at the fair but it made me miss the good ol' Potter County fair back home!
