Luca's Day

Anthony and I decided it would be fun to have a day alone with Luca. So, a friend came over to watch Avery and the three of us headed off for our day at the State Fair! The first adventure (and the best part for Luca, I think) was his first bus ride. They have an express shuttle service from the mall by our house directly to the fairgrounds. Luca loves buses, so we thought he would love to ride on one and we were right! He was grinning from ear to ear as we got on. He did really well too, sitting on the seat for the ride. It was definitely odd to not see him in a car seat!

It was a gorgeous day for the fair. Lower 70's and sunny blue skies. We went to the Miracle of Birth center and saw all the baby animals. We saw the cows, pigs, sheep, horses, rabbits and poultry. We ate greasy delicious fair food and rode across the fairgrounds on the sky glider.

The funniest part was probably when I was about a foot away from a horse and we got into an unintentional staring contest. The horse neighed incredibly loudly right at me, and I screamed and jumped. Luca said for the rest of the day "The loud horse scared mommy." I hope I didn't scar him for life. :)

It was a really fun day, and I'm glad we had the chance to take him on a special date!




Piggies!!


This was NOT the scary horse. :)


Luca loved the bunnies!


As we were heading out, this was the crowd that had gathered.
