County Fair

We did it. We went to the fair. We didn't plan on going. Until our friends just couldn't have fun without us - so we caved and went.

They had fun rides and exhibits.

Our fair expectations are pretty high.

When we lived in Mass we would always go to the Toppsfeild Fair and if you've been to that fair it takes a lot to measure up.

If we had to rate this fair we would give it a 5 out of 10 stars.

Tyler has no other fairs to compare it to so he had a ball and that is what is most important after all.

Here he is in the farmers exhibit. He got to go through "a day in the life" of a farmer.

At the end of his day he got one farmer dollar and got to chose between ice cream sandwich, milk and I don't remember.

He chose the ice cream sandwich - who wouldn't.

This picture just speaks for itself.

And so does this one.
This is Charlie enjoying the fair.

He. is. thrilled.

Tyler loves these jumping things. Daddy kept yelling "flip, flip". Tyler wouldn't flip.

Tyler rode this one twice. The first time I rode it with him. The "biggest" person has to go on the outside. Basically to be mushed beyond recognition by the other people in the car. I still have the belt imprint on my hip.
Enjoying some fair food.
This had to be the greatest event all night. Tyler wanted to go on the Ferris wheel very badly. So being the great friends they are Danny and Sean went with him. As soon as the car took off I could see Tyler's face change. He was terrified. Danny had to hold his arm/hand the entire ride and talked him through it. They got stuck at the top while the ride was letting people on and off and Danny was trying to make it fun - "Look at the fair, you can see really far away" Tyler lifted his head and said "yup, I'm just gonna take my rest now" and laid his head back onto the bar until it was over.
