Today we all went to the fair, a great summer tradition, and had a ton of fun.
There was a game that was won by catching a shark.....so of course we had to play. Patrick managed to get a few rides in beforehand though.....Elizabeth was having some issues riding. She was literally a 1/4 inch below the 36 inch cut off. We encountered quite a few carnies taking their job VERY seriously who would not allow her on their rides. She was a good sport and watched Patrick. We were more concerned about the $20 we spent on her all day ride stamp.
Finally Elizabeth was able to get on a ride....and lots after that. Look at what a coaster pro she is!
The
dinos are always a big hit....even though no one has figured out how to make them go up and down yet.
On the kids second "roller coaster" Patrick jumped into big brother duty. The dragon went a bit faster than the alligator and freaked Elizabeth out. In the beginning of the ride she was crying, but after Pat's reassurance, she was all smiles by the end.
Patrick LOVED the motorcycles.....oh no, I don't know if I could ever handle the worry of a motorcycle.
The
Caterpillar and the Worm was a big hit. First choice of where to sit meant right behind the
caterpillar's head.
To our surprise, both kids loved the Kangaroo.....a ride that brings you up and then "drops" you down.
We got inside just as heavy rain started coming and even managed to get some seats at a table. What a perfect time for ice cream and Mommy's annual Fair ice cream pictures.
Patrick didn't have the usual chocolate.....opted for yummy vanilla this time. And he did a great job eating his cone. I think this was the neatest he has ever eaten ice cream. He must be growing up.
Elizabeth had black raspberry......not for the flavor, but because it is pink.
Gotta love
Byrne Dairy ice cream. It tastes even better at the fair,
Elizabeth was certainly pooped when we came home. She fell asleep in the car and then curled up right there on the counter when we sat her down to take her shoes off. Must be the sign of a fun day.
