In a fairly significant departure from the normal family outing, the entire Martin Clan went to the Wisconsin State Fair this morning. It was pretty cool.

The highlight of the Fair was either Robinson’s Racing Pigs or the Giant Slide, both of which entertained the entire family. Food treats also included hot dogs, a Bratwurst sausage for me, and roasted corn for the family. We enjoyed the animal barns, including the Animal Health Center (we saw a live dog getting spaid … really) and the Birthing Center (if you looked quick, you saw an actual piglet being born, along with lots of other baby animals).

One of Felicia’s favorite things to do these days is walk along skinny paths, cement curbs, and painted lines. She’s working on balancing skills as she expands on her walking abilities.

Today we add to the list: she loves walking on Oriental Rugs, too! Nana & Papa have a large rectangular rug running down a long hallway, and Felicia likes to walk around the border of the rug … again and again and again. She seems to prefer racing around in the clockwise direction, although counterclockwise works, too.
