Oh the fair! haha I joked on Instagram about what an experience it was this year when someone flicked their cigarette ash on my arm and burned it, or when the lady at the ticket booth was clearly upset and fired up about something and proceeded to use the f-bomb no less than 20 times in front of my children, or the absolute nightmare it was getting in and out of that place when the entire state came on the same day as us to witness a free REO Speedwagon concert we knew nothing about ahead of time. Those aren't the memories I'm going to remember though!
Instead I'll think of the petting zoo and watching Lyla literally run from animal to animal squealing with glee at each new one she found. I could hardly keep up with her until we found this cow that they could brush ... they were both so sweet and gentle with it.
We also loved the adorable baby pigs from the petting zoo tent. We caught them nursing on our way in and then snuggling their momma in a big heap asleep on our way out. So sweet! The baby chicks were cute too!
Liam only had a few major panic attacks over the flies at the fair! haha We sat down to eat our dinner ... Pronto Pups for us and pizza for the kids and the flies were just swarming around us. Liam screamed through the meal no matter how many times we'd reach out our hands toward them to show him they can land on us and be completely harmless. So then Nic thought it would be funny to show him those fly sticks ...
Time is such a crazy thing ... just last year Lyla had barely learned how to walk when we were at the fair and this year she was tall enough for a couple of the rides.
Her first ride ever and her face said it all!! Witnessing their firsts brings me so much joy as a parent!!!
She stuck out her tongue and squealed with glee like she was having the time of her life!
Liam loved every minute of it too! I thought he would be so excited though to have his sister be old enough to ride with him but he just kept looking for ones he could only go on by himself. haha
Lyla was a trooper though and watched him go on a few with a promise that she would get a treat afterward. ;)
"Mom, this is my favorite ride EVER!"
Fulfilling his need for speed ...
Liam got the giggles on this ride and it was so cute to watch! His laugh is contagious.
She may be my big girl this year but she still can tuck her knees into my chest and snuggle up like my baby too.
These are the memories I'll always remember for the fair. <3 p="">
