Family Fun (Photos)

We promised the kiddos a day at the local fair! Some people call it the carnival but I think "the fair" sounds so much more elegant. ha ha

We spent way too much money for tickets, but the kids had a great time! So it was worth it.

You can't have a fair without a horsey ride!

or Cotton Candy!

What is a day of fun without hopping into an airplane?

or stealing Daddy's sunglasses?

There is no fun at the fair if you don't run into a couple of friends..........

and con them into taking your family photo!!!

No fun can be had unless we jump in the GIANT BOB THE BUILDER FUN HOUSE!!

When you are having fun, you have to stop and have a little snack!

But most importantly----make sure that Daddy gets in on the fun!!

It was alot of fun. This year it was only 83 degrees as opposed to some years when it is above 100!
The kids had fun---but our two year old son didn't want anything to do with the rides at all!!

It looks like a lot of fun. We took our daughter to the local carnival but she's 11 so I got to go on the big rides. You know, the ones that make your head spin and make you think you're going to puke? I miss the carousel!

Thanks everybody!

Maddie kept on saying, "Please Daddy ride the horse, please." He didn't want to hurt her feelings so he got on the horse ride with her!!

I thought it was very sweet!
