Fun times at the Fair

Last evening, Chad & I took the boys to the County Fair. It was such a nice evening for this; in the 70s with a nice breeze. Earlier today I asked Andrew what his favorite thing about the fair was. He said "When we rode the tractor." ~ after parking the car, we got on a wagon that was pulled by a tractor, which took us over to the fair entrance. The boys enjoyed seeing all the different animals, I believe Carson's favorites were the horses and cows. He would get soo excited, "Moooo!".

We enjoyed some fair food and of course the boys wanted to ride the rides. Andrew's first choice was a merry go round type that had motorcycles on it. But he was terribly heartbroken when he sat on the motorcycle and the women in charge of the ride said he wasn't tall enough because his feet were not flat on the pedals. He quickly recovered when we said he could try a different ride. He rode on some helicopter ride with Chad. Carson was admiring this train ride while Chad and Andrew were on the helicopter, so the four of us then rode the train.

The boys also were given balloons. You should have heard the laughter on the car ride home from these two as they batted their helium balloons. I told Chad we need to stop and pick up helium balloons before long road trips!

ps. you know you are in a small hick town when the barber shop closes for the week of fair!! Chad and Carson both need haircuts.
