The State Fair
We quite enjoyed the local state fair last week. There are about a million things for your kids to do (and spend money on). It's kind of like Lagoon, only it has less rides and really creepy exhibitions.
My little one LOVES all the animals. He would walk from cage to cage and pet them. It's kind of adorable.
He also really wanted to ride the merry-go-round (kind of a favorite for him), but I was a little scared of the rides. Umm... safe? I think not.
We opted instead for the pony-go-round. He enjoyed this immensely as it combines his love for things that end in 'go-round' and animals.
His daddy said that Asher got a little caught up in the bouncy-ness of the pony and started bouncing a little extra. Apparently the pony turned to look at Asher. It must have been a 'mean' look because Ash immediately stopped.
The fair is great because it has a million things to do and see:
- Miniature lady (like 30 inches tall) - Uncle Rory paid to see this one and after wards wished he hadn't. He said she looked sad. Poor thing.
- Foot long corndogs - another favorite of Ash
- Bears who can do tricks
- Ripley's Believe It or Not animals - weird and sad at the same time.
- Alligator kabobs - Uncle Rory also paid for this one and wished he hadn't... it made him so sick that puked all night.
- Funnel Cake - delightful with strawberries.
You take the good... you take the bad... and there you have THE STATE FAIR. Kind of wish it was here more than once a year!
