Fair Dayz

The fair has rolled back into town and we couldn't resist going. After the kids got off the bus from school we loaded up the car and headed out for some fun.

The kids wasted no time in asking to hit the rides first thing. We decided to take a stroll through the fair grounds and end up at the rides section. This was so we could look at all there was and if we saw some yummy food or treasures we might need to stop for a purchase.

What ended up happening from our stroll is that we arrived at the big kid ride area and Megan got really excited. This was the first year that she wanted to go on rides a bit more daring than the kiddie section could offer. We allowed the kids to each pick 10 rides.

This was a good little system and we only had one little meltdown from Andrew when he couldn't be the driver on the bumper cars because he was too short. We had to head over to the kiddie section quickly after that so he could get on some rides of his pick that he was tall enough to ride.

The kids loved the rides of course. Both got a little impatient at times as you can imagine. The fair is just so much action it is hard to wait for a brother or a sister to have a turn or a line to move faster.

They had the free face painting for kids under the age of 12. My kids picked their arm for their art work. Andrew got a green horse and Megan picked a pink dolphin. Both loved that and wore them to school the next day.

What is there that isn't to love at the fair. It is definitely a treat for all ages. We ended our night with some yummy elephant ears and headed to the car.

Fun was had by all in the few hours we were there. It was nice to hit it up as a fun family activity and I'm sure we'll go again in the years to come.
