Each year, we get so excited as we see all of the fair rides being set up around the corner. This year didn’t disapoint, but the fact that my kids were sick and kept me home most of Saturday was a bust. I wanted to go back and back again. But luckily, we made it out Friday night, and took the Seastrands for a bit on Saturday night.
Our first trek over — and as usual, Nonnie was right there with us, but she was snapping the shot.
On the way, I asked Scout if I could hold his hand. (He has been in the stinky stage lately where if I ask, he loves to do opposite.) But this time, he immediately held out his hand to me and said, “Sure…happy Mother’s Day to you!” Maybe he is making up for not singing to me on the REAL Mother’s Day.
We tried our hand at the bottle toss, but it was a no go on all levels.
My kids were so excited about the rides. Icka hasn’t really ever been on rides, and she proved that she is a dare devil. Scout, like usual, was tentative at first, but ended up being a kamikaze by the end of the night.
Navy was the only one who braved the “Fun Slide”. Her dad took her up with the potato sack.
And then I saw her come down by herself.
DUH — Dad, you were supposed to be on that sack with her.
Maybe you forgot she is two!
Luckily he came to her rescue, and gave her a little shove to the bottom.
Needless to say, she didn’t want to go on the slide any more.
But the Bumble Bees were a hit.
Like two little lovebirds on a date!
How stinking cute!

So the next day, we were so excited to go again, but when Scout woke up with a raging fever, we had to cancel swim lessons, cancel T Ball, and cancel the fair. But when the afternoon rolled around, and his fever had been gone for a few hours, we decided to take him over for a few minutes. I mean it is kind of hard to resist as we hear all of the screaming children outside our windows. So the Seastrands came along, and we hit up the fair again.
Can you tell Scout was under the weather?
But Icka was full force once again.
In fact, as she saw the bottle toss again, rather than play the game, she just stole the prizes.
Scout and Icka were both loving the little kid roller coaster! And doesn’t it look like these two are meant for each other.
We had some fair food on our way out, and bid our local fair farewell.
Until next year!
