Disappointment number one: If by "food" they mean a tiny booth selling rice crispy treats and bags of chips, etc., then they should have made that clear. I mean COME ON, I KNOW I'm not the ONLY one who thinks the words "Fair food" equal "Fried food." There was not a single item of fried food on the menu.
Second disappointment: The fair was the size of a barn. I mean, I have literally been to bigger, more exciting barn parties than this "Fair".
Third disappointment: The "Petting zoo" consisted of a few prize winning chickens, a couple of ponies, a sheep, and calf. Corban was bored after three minutes.
And the Fourth and Biggest Disappointment...
Caleb didn't win the Beautiful Baby Contest...in fact he didn't even place. Now, I know that every mother thinks that *her* baby is the cutest, but let's just say that I think Oklahoman's have a different definition of "beautiful" than the rest of the world. We were in the fourth division and I knew by the winners in the divisions before us that Caleb wouldn't win. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
So all the work of clipping his fingernails every night this past week so he wouldn't scratch up his face and making sure he stayed awake and happy all morning during the contest (a nearly impossible feat) were a waste. I will never get those hours back.
Now how can you tell me this baby isn't cute enough for the top 3 baby boys ages 6-12 months? You can't.
It's good to know that Nate and I are going home this week for the Kansas State Fair where there will be lots of yummy fried food, a quality petting zoo, and lots of family and friends to dote on Caleb and tell me he's cute.

Haha you funny girl...you made me laugh. I love your pure excitement about living in the great state of Oklahoma. :)
Caleb is such a cute baby and if I were the judge he would have placed for sure. I am proud of you for entering though, I would never be able to enter Austin, I just know I would be so offended if he didn't win. :)
Caleb, don't you listen to those Oklamoron judges! You are THE cutest baby in the whole state :)
And honestly, they should revoke the term "fair" if there is no funnel cake. I totally sympathize with your disappointment Audrey! It sounds kind of like our trip to the so-called carnival here in Mountain Home.
You are hilarious friend! I love you so much! Caleb is SO cute! He is totally the cutest baby in OK. :)And a fair with no fried candy bars is not a fair at all.
