We did it! We went to the Fair!


After much tribulation..... we made it to the FAIR! Yeah! I guess I am a lame-O parent who has never taken her children to the county fair! Well, I take that back. I took Ian and Luke when Luke was about one with my mom and sister, but never with our little family! I practically had to pull teeth to get Dave to agree to it, but he knows how I am when I am set in my ways... relentless... and annoying. So, again, after much tribulation and a threat to not go at all, we made it to the fair.
The boys had a fun time - we think - and they didn't even complain after we left... although they were excited to go home and play the new fishing game Dave bought for the Wii with his birthday money! All in all - and after much tribulation - we had a good time!
Luke and Ian with the Fire Truck that closed before we left.
Luke and Ian on the Dragon Ride -whoa... that was a handful. Luke ended up crying for being so scared on the third time around and the guy had to stop the roller coaster... Poor little Luke! I felt so horrible! Mason and I - Mason didn't like all the noise of the rides at ALL!

Daddy and Mason. Luke petting a baby pig.
Dave can't get away from the lawn mowers - even on his day off! The boys liked all the tractors and John Deer equipment.

Luke like the boats because they went 'slow'. He was much more calm on this one as opposed to the Dragon Coaster! Ian and I LOVED the swings! One of my favorites since childhood!

Ian and Luke rode the motorcycles first - Ian had a blast while Luke was a bit uneasy! I really don't think Luke's facial expression changed throughout the whole ride...

Feeding the potbelly pigs, and Ian rides the bumper cars. Well, he only went about 3 feet... he didn't understand how to drive it... oh well... but what a waste of 3 tickets! ah!
