Today was the last day of the Kansas State Fair so despite the heat, we headed out.

A sand sculpture that reflects the fair's "Hang with the Hogs" theme this year...


A ride on the mini-train. The kids rode several rows ahead of us....


Then we took a ride on the Sky Ride which was like a ski lift that crossed over the fairgrounds. Blake was terrified but loved it and wanted to go on it again. Boys rode in front of us...




Then, just as our sky ride was going over the race track, a race started! I've been going to sprint car races my whole life because my mom loves them and they are so loud and this made me so happy! Payton asked if the wings were for solar power....oh....to be a child in this century. ;)


And then a modified race started...(this sky ride was long!)



Ok, off the sky ride and onto Payton getting a henna tatoo...


While the boys cool off in the shade with a drink...


What better way to end a day at the fair than with a pig race!


Overall, it was on ok day and the kids did well despite not sleeping much the night before and the high temps. It wasn't as nice or fun as the Texas State Fair but it was nice to get out and do something fun for a few hours.
