And what is better than getting into the State Fair for free? Having all the milk and ice cream I can eat for free too :) I guess I can chalk that up to having a best friend who grew up on a dairy farm.
In between bites of our ice cream bars and sandwiches, we gave away tiny milk cartons to kids (and adults) who visited the Milk-a-Cow booth. In case you were wondering, yes, you do get to milk a cow. And yes, I milked the cow before we left. Having been best friends with Kaci since high school, I (and she) couldn't believe that I had never once helped her milk a cow on her parents' farm. But hey, I got to milk a cow and get a sweet button to document the moment. I guess you could say it was worth the wait.
After our shift ended, Kaci, her parents, and I explored the fair, endulged on some wonderful fair food, grabbed some freebies, saw a cow made completely out of butter, and even met Abe Lincoln!
Days like this are few and far between, and I am blessed to be able to spend them with the best of friends.
