The Fair!!!

Dalton and Colby enjoying the elephants

The whiplash-mobile

Always a classic...the Carousel

Sometimes little legs need to take a break from all that walking

Our family went to the fair on Sunday. This is one our favorite events of the year for us. The kids are both at an age where they really have a good time with everything. When we first arrived, we tried to get there in time to see the circus, but the line was cut off right when we got up to the front so we decided to let the boys ride the rides and then come back for the next show later. The boys had such a great time on the rides. It's so fun to just watch them as they have so much fun. After the rides, we went to the petting zoo and then went back to wait for the circus to start. We had always wanted to see the circus in the past, but for one reason or another it just never worked out. The circus was fairly entertaining and after that, we had worked up a good hunger, so we headed to one of the main reasons you go to the fair...Fair Food! The smells of the food that waft all around are just irresistable. Love it! Next, we just walked around a little and then began heading for the exit, but not before visiting another one of our favorites...Poultry World. Ah yes, the boys just love holding the little chicks and Dalton was so intrigued by the baby chicks in the incubator that were trying to peck their way out of the eggshell. We headed out as the boys were just worn out. A good time was had by all.
Dalton was constantly trying to read the map you're given when you first walk in and was walking way ahead of us directing us to the next stop.

Poultry World!!

Believe it or not, I almost called you to see if your family wanted to meet us there. We decided to wait one more year due to the gas hike. It will be better next year anyway. The kids will be a year older!

Oh yeah, that would be fun! Give me a call next year if you decide to go. There is so much to see and do. We didn't even get to half of the fair.
