September is Fair time...

I always loved going the fair when I was younger...the food, the rides, the games, animals, shopping, and haggling with vendors for the best price. Those were the days... Well, Jim and I took the kids to the fair this weekend. We went early before the crowds got heavy and spent all day walking and enjoying the day. The kids had a great time looking at all the animals, eating yummy (once a year) fair food, and rode a few rides each. Deryck caught his first fish at the fishing pond, shot a pellet gun and hit a few bulls-eyes with a bow and arrow...he loved it and asked about archery and marksmanship lessons again. Gotta love little boys excited about the outdoors. Ashley rode on her first roller coaster and asked to bring a baby pig home. Three days piglets can melt everyones heart. By the end of the day we were all well fed and had enjoyed the sights, sounds and people of the fair. The kids had a wonderful time and I remembered why we only went to the fair once a year when I was a kid...my feet hurt from all the walking and my back hurt from carrying the kids and all of the fair stuff. Hehe...I can't wait for next year already!
