And now with the little ones we really look forward to it. This is Lily's 4th time going and we have always had to avoid the ride area in past so she wouldn't be upset. She is such a tiny girl. Minimum height 36in and guess which itty bitty girl FINALLY is tall enough? That's right Little Miss Lily! My brave girl went on every single ride she could go on. She made her dad or I go with her but that's fine. Mommy can't handle the bigger rides anyway so the little rides were perfect for me. While on the "bumble bee" ride, a silly little thing that slowly raises you up and down while spinning, again very slowly, Lily kept pointing to the Ferris Wheel. Ummmm yeah that would be a big N. O. I'm sorry kiddo I love you to pieces but mommy's fear of heights trumps your wish for me to accompany you on that thing. But atlas, the Ferris Wheel was the one thing she kept begging to go on. So of course daddy, who loves them was very excited to step up and escorts her to the terrifying ride. Daddy and Lily are in the yellow swinging contraption, if you all are curious. Lily is quite a dare devil and every time they went by Lily would lean forward and smile and wave like it was nothing. I dont know about you but everytime Paul has managed to talk me into going on one I have sat very stiffly, usually while holding my breath and trying not to pass out, so i could avoid having the little contraption from rocking back and forth! At least Paul has a buddy to go on the Ferris Wheel now and I can just wander around eat cotton candy till she is ready for the mini roller coaster and the tea cups.
My favorite part of the fair has to be the animals. The cows, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits and even a camel to name a few! To be able to see, pet and feed some of these animals is such a great experience for the kids. This white cow, below, was so vocal and loud. Grayson's little mind was just blown away. So great to see him connecting the animals to the sounds that they make. Saying "The cow says 'moo' and the sheep says 'baa'..." only goes so far. I wanted to take this lady home with us! Well, only for a short minute. She was a bit stinky!
Lily and Grayson both had their first taste of cotton candy! Though Grayson seemed confused about the melt in your mouth sugariness Lily thought it was heaven! Thank goodness I brought wipes! The stickiness was a bit much! We only ate 1/4 of the bag which was great because I took the rest home and bribed my kids with it for the rest of the week!
