A Day at the Fair

Once again this year we took the kids to the County Fair. One of the days they have as kids day so all kids and parents/grandparents get in free. (Free is always good ) This was the first year that we went and did the ride thing. Usually we just get a treat, visit with friends and look at the animals. I knew Ethan would be game as he is a bit more brave than Elena, but to my surprise she was all geared up to ride as well! Here they are riding the helicopters with their cousin Abby. It went up high and Elena was just waving and laughing the whole time!!
Now the Ferris Wheel was the first thing they rode on,(Ethan and his cousins, not Elena) and I really didn't think Ethan would go on it and I was a bit nervous about him going up that high, but his Aunt Amie rode with him and he did just fine. He liked it so much that he jumped on with another friend later and ended up being on the ride for 20 min!! I think they forgot about them. He had a blast though.
We went through all the different barns and displays, I didn't get a shot of Natalie, but she was soo good. She loved the animals. Little Animals. She cried and screamed all the way through the horse barn and cow barn. She wanted to pet the goats, LOVED the bunny rabbits and when we went through the turkey barn, she learned a new animal noise - now she gobbles!!

Go Elena for being so brave! They look like they had a blast and that is too funny that she was afraid of some of the animals...although I sgree with her that horses are just too big to be cute ;)
