State Fair 2011

What a day! Fair day was great. Ryan and I went with Heather, Bronwyn and Cooper. The small ones sat in their stroller which made it so much easier. Poor little Ryan always wants to walk like “a big girl” and I like that she is independent, but this was not the place for her to be walking around. Speaking of big girl… she went all day with no accidents. Her potty training is going very well.

Heather and I didn’t try as many foods as we had liked, but got our Fletcher’s Corny Dog. We would talk about what we wanted, but end up heading to the kid’s rides, the food and fiber building or somewhere else.


The kids really enjoyed the rides….I mean Heather and the kids. Her favorite is the Tilt-a-World which they have a Bear ride which is a smaller version. She got to go with all the kids and laughed the entire time. Poor Coop looked like he might get sick…wasn’t his cup of tea I guess.


Ryan on the other hand is a thrill seeker. When the Dumbo ride stopped, she asked to go again. Ahhh the innocence of not knowing the value of fair tickets, but the controller let her go again for free. Her cuteness and blue eyes are already showing their powers.


We also walked through some buildings where we found a Foofa doll for Ryan. I was whispering to Heather not to say anything and to turn the other way when Ryan screamed, “GABBA GABBA Mommy!” So we went over there and she got her a little Foofa doll, which she carried 75% of the time.


All in all it was a great day. There was a little frustration from only getting a 30 minute nap and being tied to the stroller all day, but Ryan was a trooper. Bronwyn and Cooper were troopers too and did great.
