Another tradition Mark and I started with the kids (that I am determined to keep) is going to the State Fair. Luckily it is held in Indy and is less then a 30 min drive. So I took the kids on Thursday after Luke got out of school (thankfully he is in the AM class and done by 11:45!). Finally after the third year, we have seen ALL of it (well parts of it each year, that make up ALL of it). It is HUGE and when you are totting around 2 kids in the 80-90 degree, humid August weather in Indiana, you can only handle the fair for a couple of hours. As always, wonderful memories where made, and I know Mark was with us the whole time.
Luke on the bumper cars.
Kate and Luke playing the 'goldfish' game.
Luke won one for him and then was determined to win one for Kate, which he did. I predict they will live for about 2 days.
Luke was being a good brother and told Kate that he would buckle her up for the ride.

Okay, they picked this car ALL by themselves! For those of you who know me well, know I am a huge Ryan Newman fan....honestly, I did not tell them to pick this one!!

The replica Bridgeton Bridge at the State Fair. The orginal one was burned to the ground by an arson in 2006 and rebuilt in 2007 Parke County, where our Triangle House is. Mark loved going to the Bridgeton Bridge and Mill. He was going to donate some trees from our land to help rebuild the bridge, but we had the wrong type of lumber :(
Luke holding a butterfly at the DNR exhibit. He really wanted to take it home.
Luke got to fish in the DNR fishing pond. He was the first one done catching the three fish limit. (By the way, the DNR exhibit is now our favorite place to go at the fair, outside the midway of course!)
