Our experience at the fair this year was much better than last year...when we didn't go on any rides, and Kya was so sick she could barely walk or eat and we had to leave the rodeo early because she thought she was going to throw up.
Last year at the fair
This year, I took the kids on a weekday, they brought some friends, they rode the rides, we watched the shows, Jordan got to go to the Hunter Hayes concert, and we ate the food...the only drawback is, we probably spent 10 times as much money--yikes.
Jordan even went back with her friends for another day of rides...that time using her own money!!
Tyson told me he HATES rides, so Kya invited a friend to go on rides with her. Then, of course, when we got there, Tyson changed his mind. The girls were nice enough to let him tag along for a few of the tame rides...when they moved on to the scary rides, Tyson was more than happy to hang out with me and Summer.

Tyson's two favorite rides
Summer found this ball and would not let go of it. So we had to carry it around with us the entire day! I swear whoever won it, just ditched it so they wouldn't have to carry it around...luckily we had a stroller.
This might just be my favorite thing at the fair--the baby pigs!!! Only 4 days old!!
Oh, and this is my second favorite...the lumberjack show...I know, I'm a redneck.
This was Summer's favorite...walking around the hay bails and collecting (fake) eggs from the (fake) chicken. We were there FOREVER.
And while Summer was sleeping, Tyson and I had our first ever funnel cake (for only $11). It did not disappoint!!
Then after Summer dropped Tyson's $9 cheeseburger, we found the cheapest dinner possible, $3.75/slice of pizza.
Our plan was to leave the fair by 6ish, but we were there at least until 8:30pm!

Wow--that looks like a great fair! I love the picture of Summer carrying that huge ball, and the little piglets are so cute. It's amazing how much money they can charge for everything in that type of setting, though!
