State Fair

Our first family trip to the State Fair. A friend and I took the kids when Bryce was 2 and Aubree was 5 weeks old. I'm sure they don't remember anything. All I remember was my arms hurting from pushing the double stroller. Also, this was Newman's first trip to the fair.

They both touched the baby chicks!! Bryce tried to pick one up, but he got scared and let it fall.





Both kids got up to the ride, then Aubree decided she didn't want to go around in circles and got off. I was very impressed Bryce stayed by himself. He even got the hang of turning the tea cup.

This is somthing they both have been wanting to do. Newman paid for both of them, then Aubree again decided she didn't want to do it. As she was backing up, I pushed (gently, of course) and told her Daddy had paid and that she was going! They both had a blast and even wanted to do it again.

The more Bryce did the more excited he got. My kids are not very adventurous and that's probably an understandment. So, I was very surprised he wanted to go down the slide. Now all we need to do is add the water!!

They love riding the carosel. As you can tell, they had fun pretending while they were on there and even wanted to do it again. We ended the rides with the kiddie roller coaster which was a major accomplishment!! I was prepared to listen to Aubree scream she wanted to get off once we went around once. But she did great. She even told me it would have been more fun it I had leaned like the other people in front of us!!

We ended our time at the fair with a funnel cake, my favorite.

As an aside, while eating dinner that night, we talked about reading books. Bryce told us while reading a book you could imagine the movie going on in your mind as you read. I told him that is why you read the book first!! We are reading Robin Hood now and all I can picture is foxes and animals. I just thought that was really neat.
