a day at the fair

The county fair....the only place in town that is sure to put a smile on your face, yet send you home sick with an empty wallet.

The combination of defying gravity until your skin turns a light shade of olive, coupled with the opportunity to eat deep fried oreos while strolling through animal barns. It really is enchanting.

We took the kids last weekend, and they had a blast. We rode most all of the rides, drank our $3.50 lemonade, had a staring contest with many a pig, rabbit and goat, and got goody bags filled to the top with free literature, candy and pencils.


Austin insisted on riding the gravitron all by himself. It did not agree with him :) I took Sydney and Dylan on the tilt-a- whirl. Longest ride I have ever been on. Every time we past the carnie operator, i gave him the just make this ride end look. He just smirked at me, and I'm pretty certain he was amused.

If you can read lips, Stella is clearly saying no here. She likes her animals from a distance :)
