We weren't planning on going to the fair this year but Cameron got a free ticket from school to go and EVERY day for two weeks the first thing he asked when he got off the bus is if we could go to the fair and when. After talking it over with Mitch, we decided that we better go. We went Friday, it was the last weekend of the fair. We had a fun time and enjoyed the nice weather. We saw the animals, rode on the rides, ate way too much and spent even more!
They had an exhibit of animals from around the world. This guy was huge and grumpy. They had some pretty cute baby donkeys and even a Zedonk. That is a half zebra/half donkey. Poor guy.
The rides were a hit. Cameron is so much fun watching when he gets excited. It is worth every penny. Natalie was such a good girl and didn't cry that she wasn't big enough to go on anything. In the end she rode the carousel and didn't want to get off when it was over.
Cameron has become quite the dare devil. This was his first fast ride and after the first loop he looked scared to death but after that he was laughing. He decided that he wanted to go on the mixer ride. It is fast and not what I would call a little kid ride at all. I thought he would be bawling once it started. He and another little boy sat together and laughed the whole time.
I even convinced Mitch to go on the "Mouse" roller coaster with me. I haven't been on a roller coaster in a long time. I was dizzy for 10 minutes after the ride was over but it was fun. The kids can't wait to go back next year.
Cute stuff! I bet those guys had a blast at the fair! and Soccer!! How fun!?! Is Jules gonna play this year? I know she listed that on the "things she gets to do now that she's four" :)

You can do it at a trot.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it at a gallop.
You can do it real slow,
so your heart won’t palpitate.
Just don’t be late.
Do the Puyallup.
Looks like fun! We are excited to see you!!
