Fair, Food & Fun

I'm a little behind on posts, but thankfully it's not because of more sick kids! Just busy, or lazy, I guess; take your pick!
Thursday we had the pleasure of taking the family to the fair. It was arm band night, and Kellen, Peyton and Owen sure got our money's worth! They rode rides for three hours straight, with only a brief stop to inhale some cotton candy! We met up with three other families, so the kiddos had plenty of friends to ride with.
Kellen was tall enough for all the "big people" rides this year, and Peyton could do a couple of them. Owen just barely passed the height requirement to do the BIG swings, and I'm so thankful, because that ended up being his favorite ride!

Kellen fell in love with "Moby Dick", and probably rode that one the most. She's 7th from the left in this pic below. Hard to see, I know. I had some more that were close-up, but I liked this pic b/c it shows that this was no kiddie ride!Our friend Mike was buying a ticket to take his daughter Emery on the big Ferris Wheel, so he took several of the other families' children with him, too, since they had to ride with an adult. By the time they loaded up, there were SEVEN children in the basket with him!
The next day, the kids got to go back to do the petting zoo and the exhibit buildings. I didn't get any pics of those, though, because other people took them for me! In all, it was a great (expensive!) night, but is a fun tradition that they remember every year!
