the fair recap...

It was perfect fair weather on Friday. 

Before heading out we stopped at Jack's Bicycle shop and purchased a brand new bike for Carson.  I think this the first major item he has gotten new.  All his other things have been hand me downs from big brother.  It was great to see his face light up when we walked in and he realized what was happening.

I work for an amazing company.  For the past several years they have purchased our tickets to get in, unlimited ride bands and they have given us money for food.  The fair is that much sweeter when someone else paid your way in.

The first stop was this:

I love these things.  I am so happy I can not get my hand on these things throughout the year.  If I could, I would be in major trouble.

We looked at bunnies, chickens, baby cows, baby pigs and my favorite a baby goat.  We rode a ton of rides (I even got in on the action).  The carnies in the teen section are way better than in the kid section.  And don't even get me started on how they clean up a slide (gross and yuck).

We did lots of walking, lots of eating and had a great time.  Carson was an animal on the darts; he popped 4 balloons with 3 darts.  Griffin was up for any ride but he loved the slide the best; he went on it over and over again.  Randy won me a stuffed animal on the drag racing game, and I walked out with a few extra dollars in my back pocket.  I am already looking forward to next years memories.
