A trip to the fair.

I love the fair...the food, the rides, the sights (people watching at its finest), just the tradition of it all. We met up with friends, ate some funnel cake, rode some rides, had some cotton candy, saw the animals and high divers, and rednecks...

We went this past Monday (I know, bad Mommy for just getting these pictures up). The kids had the best time! We went with 3 other families (all have kids Anna-Kate's age and around Ryan's age). We go the unlimited ride pass and went crazy. Not sure if you remember her hating the rollercoaster last year (if you don't, it ended in the hysteric crying that the person crying can't really get their breath. See?)



Now this year:



This is immediately upon getting off--how cute is this??:)



Amazing how much difference a year can make! When I told her we were going to the fair she said, "do I have to ride the scary catepillar rollercoaster again this year?" Then, upon seeing it at first she said, "I not gonna ride that!". She had her friends, Adam, Hannah and Lauren with her (and incidently, their parents and younger siblings) so that seemed to help the excitement level go up to have a "ride buddy". Ryan didn't miss out on the action either. He will be my daredevil child, for sure. He loved it all.

Woah, that was a quick start!

(R) Having the best time EVER, (AK) Oh look, friends, hi y'all!



Anna-Kate LOVED the teacups (she's my girl afterall!). While watching the girls all you could hear was Anna-Kate giggling and Hannah preparing for management, "OK girls, now you spin it, a little faster now..." :)



On the carousel:



Ryan's first ride by himself, the "Nemo". Despite his face, he LOVED it and was laughing most of the time. All of the parents were watching/laughing at him because he was so cute. :)





Anna-Kate and her friends, Hannah, Adam and Lauren (and Lauren's Mommy, Heather).



Anna-Kate, Ryan and Adam on the big fish:



We had a great time and Anna-Kate is already asking when next years fair is. :)
