The Fair! Whoop Whoop!!

Ever since we took the girls to the fair last year they have been asking when the fair is coming back to town. A week before we took them this year we started a countdown. When they would wake up in the morning they would say...."Only 3 more days till the fair gets here!!". They were beyond excited.

Walking to the gate....
and through the expo hall....almost to the rides!!
On the first few they wanted one of us to ride with them....
This pic is hilarious to me for some reason....I guess b/c Shane looks totally squished and so big :)


They were most excited about riding the roller coaster....

They even put their hands up in the air....it was so funny b/c no one told them to do this....I guess they saw some other kids doing it and just did it, too :)


From this point on they decided they wanted to ride everything by themselves....which was totally fine with us :)

They begged to ride this one. I was shocked that they wanted to b/c it shot you straight up pretty high in the air and then would drop you unexpectedly. I thought they would be terrified, but they LOVED it.





Petting the piggies....
They loved the puppet show...

They were so excited about feeding the animals....






Then it was back to the rollercoaster again. Ummmm...can you tell they were pumped??!
By themselves this time.....
I love this pic....look at them with their hands up....hilarious!

Then off to the safari bus that went "super way high" in the air....




Look at the size of these corn dogs and chicken-on-a-stick??!? I mean, really??? wow.

Their once-a-year corn dog experience :)
well, I guess that's one way to do it :)
Carousel time....

The "willy big super fast slide"....they had to ride with daddy on this one....


They had been begging to get on the huge ferris wheel since we got there so we finally made our way over to it....they couldn't get over how "high it went in the sky" :)

18-wheeler time....

hahaha! She SO looks like a real truck driver in this pic!
a different roller coaster....
hands up again!!
I so wish this pic wasn't blurry...but I put it on here anyway b/c their expressions are priceless!


This is SO a foreshadowing picture....Gab always wants to be the one driving and in control....where in the world would she get that from??? :)

One last hoo-rah on the rollercoaster....

The same puppet show they watched earlier came on again....and of course, they wanted to watch it for the second time :)


The daddy was a huge fan of the puppet show as you can tell :)
We ended the night with ice cream, of course! Jocelyn's face is hilarious....I'm pretty sure she was tired of me taking pics! What a fun night at the fair! Now the countdown will begin for next year :)
