State Fair Bound

I had zero desire to waddle around the Fair this year so I used my Lady-in-Waiting status to get me out of the trip.  As I was pregnant with Boden exactly 5 years ago, I vividly remember that State Fair experience...it wasn't a good one.  So I sent the boys off for a little guy time and some instructions to try to make a few healthy choices while they were there.  I thought they'd be home by early afternoon, but they weren't even off Machinery Hill by that time--too busy checking out all the equipment!  Apparently, Boden was telling anyone who would listen that he and his dad were going to buy a farm and he was  going to drive the tractors; dad was going to be in charge of the animals.  I got regular reports via text of all the fun they were having and I figured we'd have an exhausted boy by the evening--he fell asleep before the bus left the State Fair lot but caught his second wind once he got home!
