Oregon Ag Fest

Audrey and Kate went to Salem today to check out the Oregon Ag Fest at the State Fairgrounds. It's a kid-oriented celebration of Oregon agriculture where you can "learn about life on the farm." The girls looked at and petted farm animals, took a wagon ride, tested out some tractors, and partook of many activities. These included digging for potatoes, playing in dried corn, and making "dirt babies." A dirt baby is a mixture of grass seed and dirt in nylon hose that, when kept wet, will sprout grass "hair," kind of like a Chia Pet.
