Two is better than one

What's better than one day at the county 4-H Fair? Well, two of course! That's how we spent our week, visiting our county's fair with friends, which has become an annual tradition!

 Our first day to the fair we brought Asia with us. It was her first time at the fair!

 Spending $0.50 on a cup of hay cubes to feed the animals, and in this case, a pony and a donkey

 Khloe LOOOVED all the animals. She walked around squealing with pure joy and excitement with each new animal she saw. She especially loved the birds...

 Oh, and the llama too. Here she actually tried to crawl in the pen. If we had let her she would've crawled in each and every one of the pens. She almost lost several of her fingers at different times to a not-so-friendly turkey and a goose.

 Hello Mr. Llama

 Kayla

 Khloe

Asia

This year Kayla finally stood taller than the 42" green "tall enough to ride this ride" line so we got to ride all the fast spin-y rides! And we spent 50 tickets doing so! And by "we", I really do mean "we". Aaron rode the first one with the girls and then swore off fast spinning rides for the next century and gladly handed me that baton, which I gladly took. I love these rides! So, for the next hour the girls and I rode the rides, the girls screamed, while Aaron and Khloe gladly watched from the sidelines. Everyone was happy!

Day Two: We went back with Addison and Lowell!

 

This also meant day two of blue raspberry slushies.

 The corn is such a hit! (We've should've pushed to stay here longer, and not move on at all. Why didn't we? At least this was free.)

 Our trip the day before Kayla begged and begged to go on the ferris wheel. It is the one ride that I will not go on. Put me on something that spins you dizzy, turns you upside down, but do not put me on that high slow wheel of torture. Aaron, also not a big fan. So we kept dismissing her requests and distracting her with other rides. Well... day two at the fair and I felt I couldn't deny her request again. Luckily, Lowell was the brave soul who volunteered to take the girls!

Everyone looks happy to finally be on the ferris wheel! (Well everyone except maybe Lowell!)

 Despite being tall enough to ride the "big rides" they were still drawn to some of their old favorites. These rides seemed less exciting this year, although we grew to love them over the last two years.

 Wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! More fast rides!

The second thing Kayla kept asking to do our first night at the fair was the bungy cord/trampoline jump. This totally surprised us! But, like she pointed out, "its just like gymnastics". Again, we kept dismissing it because it was just one more thing that required yet more money and we thought we could distract her with other fun rides. Well, that tactic might work for one night, but certainly not two nights. So, Addison and Kayla - they were so brave and I can't believe they went through with it - did the jump! They were really high! It was pretty cool, and I was impressed.

I think we are all Fair'd out! We certainly got our fill!
