The State Fair is on right now, and Sara and I took the kids last night.  Ryan, Jay and John are on their canoe trip, so it was just us girls and the kids.  The boys had fun riding the rides, but Josiah was still too short to ride some of them.  This did not make him very happy, but we got through it.  Lily was only able to ride the kiddie cars, but she really liked them.  Sara rode the Spider with Elijah, and both of them felt a little sick afterwards.   I got to ride the Himalaya and the Ferris Wheel with the boys, and it was fun.  I love riding rides.  After dinner, we watched Katherine and her group do their Scottish dances.  They performed for about an hour at the Ethnic Village.  Sara and I really enjoyed the dancing, but the boys, of course, were bored.  We left the fairgrounds at about 8:30, and everyone was tired.  I helped Sara get the boys to bed, and then I headed on home.  It was a good day.
