The GREAT State Fair

We had a blast. We got on the bus at the park and ride at 10:30 this morning and got back off at 9:00 pm. All of us have taken bathes and are in bed. I am hoping the other two are sleeping. Soon I will be.

We started out getting the last wagon at the rental spot and then had a breakfast of Pronto Pups before hitting the Kidway. Many Many rides later we looked for lemonade and shade. On the way to the next ride Ella fell asleep in the wagon. So Elizabeth and I found a spot close to the parade and relaxed. I had some more food and pop and we started off to the next spot.

Ella was still sleeping so Elizabeth and I pulled the wagon to International Bazaar. Ella woke up at the end of that so River Ride was next. It was so much fun and we all got wet. Very wet. Squishy Wet.

More food and we headed to the Hippodrome. On the way there we stopped at the Spin and Paint. The pictures turned out great.

Then on to horses. Very fun. We turned in the wagon before the horse show.

We left the free horse show and looked for treats. By this time the crowd level was so much less than earlier. The girls had room to move. We were all dancing to the music at KDWB as well as in the Bazaar.

The last thing we did was the space tower. That is so cool at night.

The only down side from today is our camera is toast. One of the rides I had to go on with the girls. Ella wasn't big enough. But there were rocks in the back pack and that cracked the lens. I thought I had it away from Ella's rock collection but nope.



I wouldn't let Ella ride this one so she took pictures.


I took this one of Elizabeth. I used to go on a ride like this in the Midway but got the s*it scared out of me when I was in highschool. I was proud that I didn't share that fear with Elizabeth. Plus this one wasn't as high as the one that scared me... at least that is what I tell myself.
I know it looks like I am not having fun but I really was. Elizabeth was testing the camera. I didn't think it would work so I didn't smile... LOL It looks like the only part broken is the display and it still takes pictures fine.

We really had a great time and the girls did great. I think we will try without the wagon next year. Yee Haw :-)
