A trip to Illinois state fair!

Craig and Sandy took us Shopping the rest of the day yesterday and showed me around the town. We went by the Mississippi River and drove parallel to it for a while. I thought it was a beautiful view!


In the evening we went to have supper with Zach's family. They are such wonderful people and so much fun to be around. Melinda showed me around their house and Zach took me on a tractor ride! I met their dog "April" and fell in love with her!! She reminds me of my Labrador at home. When she doesn't have anything to do she runs to the field, grabs a comb of corn, brings it to their yard and eats them!!


The day started early for us today as we left for the Illinois State Fair. We saw some huge cows and beautiful horses. One of the horses we saw was very very good looking and we stopped by and talked to her owner. She had won a second and a fourth prize in a horse show. He told us there were some horse shows going on at the moment so we went to see one. It was my first horse show ever and I enjoyed it so much! We also went to a horse race whose wining amount was $45,000!!!



The best part of the day was however getting on those crazy rides with Misty! We didnt go on a lot of them but the few that we rode were very thrilling!
