Fun at the Fair

This weekend, the fair was in town. We decided to pay the ridiculous cost to go to it - funnel cake was calling our name (I know, I know... we could make it for pennies at home but it's just not the same). As we were walking around, it occurs to us that there are very few rides Wyatt can ride based on height. We finally found a couple for him so we paid for some tickets (again, ridiculously expensive!) and let him choose which ones to ride. He rode a motorcycle merry-go-round, a dragon rollercoaster, a truck merry-go-round, and a clown train. He loved the motorcycle one and wouldn't stop honking the horn! The dragon one started off alright but he was the only kid on the ride... it made us said that he was alone. He sat in the very front and seemed to be okay at first but by the third or fourth time around, his smile had faded and you could read this look on his face like "Hey mister, why haven't you stopped this ride yet???" He actually started to cry right as it was stopping. I never saw a kid move so fast to LEAVE the ride area than Wyatt did! :) The other two rides went fine. I enjoyed some freshly squeezed lemonade. Actually, I don't know if it was really squeezed or just powder with two lemon halves at the bottom of the cup but it was still refreshing. Jake got his funnel cake!!! And Wyatt really wanted to play one of those carnival games so we gave in. He ended up doing the one where you throw the dart at a balloon. Well, our son wanted to balloon more than the toy he won so the man gave him a balloon too! What a dork... got to love him!! :)

Entry fees to local fair: $14

Tickets for carnival rides with questionable set-up: $10

One fresh-squeezed/powder lemonade drink: $5

One tasty funnel cake: $6

One stuffed animal and balloon: $2

Watching my son's beaming smile as he enjoys the rides: PRICELESS!!!

PS - Garett had a blast too! All the walking around made for a WONDERFUL nap in the stroller. No complaints!
