County Fair - Day 2
Thursday, July 09, 2009
Rachael actually got a bit braver today, riding a few of the rides that she wouldn't have even considered yesterday. Then again, she is noticeably absent from the clown picture - yet another phobia that we'll have to work on!
We met Heather and her girls for a day at the fair. We bought all of the kids $20 wristbands which are good for 3 days of rides. Still expensive, but a much better deal than $1.50 per ride or an $18 one day band! Rachael, ever the chicken, didn't ride many of the rides, but she had fun nonetheless. Nick was a little upset because I didn't let him ride some of the larger rides (the ones that went upside down). I was afraid that, being so small, he might hurt himself. With the price of admission, rides, and food, we spent a small fortune, but it was nice being able to just hang out and have a fun day with friends.
We met some friends for a Mexican lunch followed by the movie Wall-E (again!) We had a great time, as Wall-E is one of those movies that you can see multiple times and still enjoy! After Jeff returned home from work, we went to the county fair. We bought both kids a wristband which offered unlimited ride opportunities. Nick, the daredevil, loved every one. He was heartbroken that he couldn't ride all of the "adult" rides as well! He'll be a blast at the theme park when he gets a little taller...
We also engorged ourselves on fair food including the scrumptious funnel cakes...YUM! We spent a small fortune, but oh well, it only comes around once a year!
