Summer Fair Time!

I picked up the kids a little early from school (meaning like 11:30 since they only go half days) and we went to the fair for ride day. The fair has wrist bands you can purchase for unlimited riding on Wed/Thurs - which is what we did. The kids had a BLAST!

It was TONS of fun but so tiring just being up standing for so long (almost 8 hours!!!). Everyone was tired by the end of the day.

I was concerned about taking Faith with us since she's not a very good listener at this stage, but it seems she gets shy/overwhelmed with large crowds because she refused to come out of her stroller. She kept trying to get back in when I took her out and then she'd put her hand over the seat belt and say NO! it made it much easier for me.
What Faith did all day (eat and drink and be merry):

We'll all go back another day next week (with Daddy) for exhibit day -to look at all the stuff but not do rides.

A cool thing they had - a market. The kids got a shopping list with 4 items on it such as "cow, chicken, wheat, beans" - then had to find 4 items that had these things in it - such as cheese for cow or eggs for chicken, etc. It was a good practical learning thing and the kids loved it.
