Carmela had the best time today at the Evergreen State Fair; it was so much fun!
First she went on the carousel. Unfortunately, much like real pony rides, they look like more fun from a distance. After another little girl snaked the kitty cat, Carmela chose a horse named Sydney. She stuck it out for the whole ride, but she didn't smile very much, and she clung to Daddy a bit.

Next, Miss Ela went to her very first race track and saw the racecars go around and around; she even saw a (small and minor) crash! It was amazing! And the best part: After the heat was over, the racecar drivers parked their cars on the track and let all the kids come down and take a look at them. Cool! Carmela liked peeking inside the cars, and she climbed into a dwarf car, but she changed her mind about climbing into a bigger racecar.

After the race track, Carmela went to see horses compete in the barrel racing competition. She yelled, "Run, horse, run, run, run!" and clapped enthusiastically for every horse, because they all did very well.

Then, she saw some miniature show ponies. She thought they were pretty great, and wanted to climb into their pen. Mama would only let her stand on the fence, though.

Finally, after eating a frozen, chocolate-covered banana and seeing a Youth Jazz Band concert, Carmela got to see how big real cows are; she also got to pet a sheep and feel some tufts of wool. What an amazing day!
