Once Hannah heard about the Ag Fest in our state capitol Salem and all its splendiferous activities, she talked us all into going with her. Several of our friends raved about this event and Hannah's determination was just icing on our Ag Fest cake. After hanging out with pigs and goats and rabbits and chickens, waiting 45 minutes for a balloon dragonfly, digging for potatoes, blowing thousands of bubbles, stamping blueberries onto a postcard, and eating an ice cream bar, Hannah finally got to see a lamb sheered. That made the drive and fatigue entirely worthwhile.
Hannah had recently filled her chore jar with beads and had requested to go to Discovery Village, also in Salem. Since we were there for the Ag Fest, we spent our last few hours at this village. We highly recommend stopped here when you are in the area. We got in for free with our OMSI membership card. There are three buildings and an amazing outdoor play area. Next time we'll dedicate a whole day to the Discovery Village.
