Kicking Myself

Shoot! It was one of those "forget the camera" days. For Family Night this week we ventured to the Dixie Classic Fair. Usually state fairs aren't really Jim or my "thing" but it was really built up around here on the radio and people we talked to and the kids were totally brainwashed- so we went for it. It was actually a really good time. We mostly walked around and took in some great people watching. Jim was determined to try fried butter and Arielle had a fried snickers. I took a bite of both, snickers won hands down! Toby picked cotton candy of course- always straight sugar for him. I chose island style noodles with lots of huge chunks of fresh veggies- weird, I know. The kids were each allowed one ride (we are on a budget and you could easily drop hundreds of dollars at the fair if you don't watch it). They decided to ride one that goes in a circle really fast forward & back and blasts music. They had smiles plastered on their faces and Arielle could barely stay in her seat due to the force. Next we went to the petting farm which had a camel, south american rats, kangaroo and some other non-traditional petting farm animals- Arielle loved that. Lastly, we caught a couple shows- a magic show and hypnotist show. The magic show was Jim & my fav and the kids loved the hypnotist show (first one of its kind that they'd been to). I think the shows made the entrance fee to the fair actually worth it. But alas...no camera- dang! Here's a link to check out the fair http://www.dcfair.com/index.php/about-us
