Andrew and I went to the New York State Fair yesterday! Andrew got tickets through his work for general admission, and he then surprised me with tickets to see Sugarland in concert!! We were completely overwhelmed with everything at the fair, but we had so much fun! It was hot, required a lot of walking, but Andrew kept me well hydrated and we took lots of rest breaks. Thankfully, I was not one of the many people we saw being escorted out my medical personnel. I took lots of pictures (are you surprised?!), but let me share a few of our favorite moments from the fair.
Memorial Sand Sculpture
This sand sculpture brought a lump to my throat. It was incredible, and it really made us stop and think. It's hard to believe that this tragedy happened almost 10 years ago, and it is also hard to believe that we will be in New York when the 10 year anniversary rolls around. Everyone was in awe at this sculpture.
The Chickens
This guy was quite literally the most perfect chicken.
This skinny legged guy made me laugh. He kept turning his head sideways at me. What a dork.
This goofball puffed his chest up at me when I went to take a picture. He had quite the attitude.
What beautiful colors!
The llama chicken. :-)
The Concert
Sara Bareilles opened for Sugarland. She did a great job! I'm thinking I may have to invest in some of her music.
Sugarland put on a FANTASTIC show! Jennifer Nettles is truly an entertainer. We enjoyed every moment of the concert. They sure know how to work a crowd! I would recommend them to anyone.
The Nighttime Ferris Wheel
This thing was so distracting during the concert. The colors were always changing, and it was so pretty!
How neat!!
So, we are newly residents of New York, and we have already attended the state fair. I don't think either of us had ever even been to the Missouri State Fair. It was a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed a day away from everything. It was great to spend time with each other! We needed that.
