The Fair









We have a family tradition of going to our local county fair. We have done this every year since Lilly was a baby. We now take the kids out of school on the Wednesday of the week long fair, as there is a rides deal for twelve dollars unlimited rides. The day doesn't get crowded until after three o'clock when schools are all out, so we have most of the day to enjoy the fair without waiting in lines or worrying about losing someone in the crowd. We had a blast and the weather was perfect. Will and the kids went on all the rides multiple times, Lilly won many prizes at the games, and the farm animals were really cool. I wanted to but a mini horse, but I think that sort of thing is frowned upon in the suburbs. Everyone is exhausted tonight, myself included, but county fair day is my favorite family day of the year.

What a wonderful tradition! It sounds like so much fun.

As far as the mini horse goes...isn't that what garages are for?
