So when finally arrived at the fair we ate lunch and Charlie and Zach tried a fried snickers. We went to the petting zoo, where Zayne wanted to feed and touch the animals but would get really "freaked" out when they would get really close. Then Zachery remembered doing Little Hands on the Farm, so we had to do that again. We actually listened to Mother Goose Story Time this year and attempted to participate in the Backyard Circus. I saw attempted to participate because Zachery volunteered to be a lion and when he was up on stage he really didn't know if he wanted to be up there. When they were passing out uniforms and then placed the lion head over Zachery, that was it. He took everything off, started crying, and ran back to my lap. Zayne on the other hand wanted to go up there, but the Circus Director said that he was a little young. Little does he know that Zayne is a very determined little boy. It was all I could do to keep him on my lap during the little performance. Let's see oh we had ice cream, learned about cotton, did a tree rub, and drank a free root-beer float.
After living here for 14 plus years I have never riden the Texas Star (the big ferris wheel) ... so we did it this year! It was so much fun!! So we have one child that wanted to sit in the middle of the cage and another that wanted to stand and lean against the cage bars. I am sure you can guess who was who ...
We had just enough tickets to let Zachery ride one ride, which he picked a airplane ride. He went all by himself and waved to us as he went around and around! The DART ride back was extremely long because Zayne refoosed to fall asleep, but we made it back home. What a fun family day!
Stay tuned, we are going camping next weekend! So I should have some fun pictures and hopefully stories!
