Fair Time

I took the kids to the fair on Thursday, we got there about four and didn't leave until a quarter to eleven. We got there and went to do some looking around before the rides started up on the night time wrist ban. The first one we went to was the farm barn. Cody loves this barn, he loves to check out all the cows, look for chickens that poop out eggs and check out all the other farm stuff. Emily went around telling the different animals congrats on winning ribbons to any that had them above the cage, while Cody asked all the farmers what all the different things did. After that we went and got some dinner on the midway. Cody wanted pizza hut pizza and Emily picked the big foot long corn dog. After that we checked out the dog show for a bit, they thought the dog jump roping was so funny.
This dog was shown on Oprah one day. Once six hit we had our bans and we were riding rides. The first ride we did was the big giant slide, and finally Emily was big enough to ride alone. So up they both went to the top. Cody came down first followed by Emily and we were off after that.



Next was a new ride they had for kids,
then the kids did the air balloons. After that we moved to the big kid rides, Cody has begged me to let him do this ride you go straight up for about a minute then bam down in 3 seconds. He got off it and said "Mom my eyes were this big (then made circles over his eyes) can I go again. The photo I got of him coming down came out really dark for some reason so sorry its not that great.
I had him wait a minute and took them on Emily's favorite ride (after that drop ride he thought this one was very dull). Then for the rest of the night we rode big kid rides, we did the Thunder Bolt a few times, the tornado, tilt a whirl, ghost house, the dragon roller coaster, and many many more. The only ride the kids didn't like was the octopus. Toward the end of the night Emily rode the pony ride while Cody said he didn't want to. I was texting someone and some carnie dude comes up puts his hand over my phone and gets in my face. I asked him what was his problem and he pointed at a sign that says no photos. So i told him it was a text not a photo, then took a pic as he walked away, the photo sucked but its ok I wasn't going to take one anyways. After that Cody played a game (the one where they toss a dart at the balloons) and hit ever dart he had so he got a prize. Emily picked to have a caramel apple with sprinkles instead of a game. We had so much fun I wish we could go every day, even if we are still recovering from it. Here is just a couple random photos I took of the kids.
