The Fair Is Back In Town

Once again, we all had a great time at the fair! The kids rode rides, played games, fed animals, and ate some good stuff. What more could we ask for??










We were very impressed with the BMX Stunt Guys, especially Logan!


David and Logan getting warmed up to go on the super fast, spinning rides...


Sam had a great time because there was so much to watch and see. Here is a picture of us! I'm working on having more pictures taken of me and the kids. That is a hard thing to do!!



Just thought this was a sweet picture! David is such a great Daddy!


Yummy...Yummy...Yummy!!



They just had to pick the motorcycles!!


The games are SO expensive so we had to limit them but they both managed to get a prize. Logan won his and Addie won the heart of a boy in front of her. He threw baseballs and broke lots of bottles. He picked this blue puppy as his prize and turned around and gave it to her...AWW...she was grinning from ear to ear!!!

Here they are riding the same roller coaster that Addie wasn't so crazy about last year. You can click here to see the pictures from last year. Addie was holding on for dear life then and this year she was riding with her hands in the air, screaming and laughing all at the same time!



And this year Logan was up for the super fast, spinning rides. David and I were so excited to ride some with him too. We took turns and rode with him. This was the first one. David and I were both unsure if he would really like it. HE LOVED IT!! We giggled and screamed and had the best time! It moved so quick that David couldn't really get a good picture of both of us in action but he did get this one...


After riding a few of the super fast, spinning rides, Logan convinced us he was ready for this Spider ride...



It turned out that this one was a little too much for him. You can see his head down at the end of this one. David said he was screaming my name the entire time saying he just couldn't hold on anymore. Oh well...maybe he'll move up to this ride next year...


And we ended the night with the petting zoo. We fed all the animals carrots and loved seeing the porcupines, hogs (or something like that), a kangaroo, and the camels.





We even got to the feed the camel. Isn't he funny looking??

So, another great time was had at the Williamson County Fair. We missed out on the Ferris Wheel and the Barn experience this year. We were having way too much fun in other places and by the time we made it to the Ferris Wheel, the line was way too long and our feet were in some major pain (at least mine were). We settled for the petting zoo instead of the barn because once again, our (my) feet hurt and we were all just too tired. Oh well, there is always next year to look forward to...

Wow- how much money did you spend to ride that many rides??!!! You are way nicer parents. Jon and I just couldn't bring ourselves to take the kids and watch our money spin away :)

Well, it was government employee day so we all got in free. We just bought the kids the unlimited rides and let them go. We didn't really go anywhere big this summer so we figured we could give a little more for the fair. They had a great time...it was worth every penny!! They had a blast!!
