It took us a while to get there in traffic-- but we finally made it and parked and shuttled in. Lots of other people wanted to go to the fair too.....
We got some tickets for rides about the time Andy declared he would NOT be riding any rides. So Cal and I rode the Cobra-- a kiddie ride that was just scary enough for him.
He was nervous and it was super cute. I was secretly enjoying him grabbing on to me and wanting the extra cuddles. Not complaining there!
Both boys wanted to do the trampoline jump thing. I think this attraction must have made a million dollars during its time at the fair. I have seen so many people posting pictures and videos of their kids on this! It is popular, that's for sure.
Next up, Andy wanted to ride the slide and Cal decided he was STARVING and needed food. I waited with Andy while Cal and Eddie disappeared-- they returned with a massive turkey leg. Cal gobbled it up....#punintended
As soon as the boys spotted the midway games, there was no stopping them from begging to do every.single.one. Several tries and several (several....SEVERAL) dollars later, we had two light up swords in our hands. Andy finally said "can't we just buy the sword?!?!" We agree, nug.
Continuing on our food journey, cotton candy was up.
And soon, it was time to head home. Showers were oh so necessary after all that fun.
Eddie is usually the one encouraging the fair going. I am hoping after this year, he will be good to take a year or two off. The crowds stressed me out. And Eddie would walk about 20 yards ahead and then turn around and wonder where we were-- and I was trying to hang on to both boys and carry sweatshirts etc. while Cal would veer right to see something and Andy would pull me left (he held my hand pretty tight the whole time).....Mom life, right?
Until the next time, state fair.... may it be in a few years.......
