We went back to the fair on Monday. It was student day – all the kids in the county get the day off and into the fair for free. In the past, I thought if I went before noon, I avoided seeing many kids over the age of 10, but this year…. I feel like I saw them all. It was also a nice day.
We got the unlimited ride bracelet to start the morning. The girls started with a few small ride favorites to begin. The Dragon Wagon is the best; it will be sad when they are too big.
Then, they moved to the bigger rides. Their favorite, by far, was this Cliff Hanger ride where you lay down. I did it last year with Madison, and it was a lot of fun.
They also tried this Mega Bounce, which from the outside didn’t look too bad, but because they were little, their heads were bouncy against the harnesses. It was not their favorite.
They did the Crazy Cars. This one was okay for them.
They did this one, I don’t remember the name of it. It takes you slowly up, and then it drops you unexpectedly. They came off smiling, but Madison said it made her legs shaky.
Jeremy met us to ride the Ferris Wheel. This is my gift to the girls every year, but I may stop doing it. I don’t like it. When we slowly move to let people on and stop all the time, I completely freak out. I have to focus on my breathing and try not to move. Once the ride is going, I don’t mind it. The views are also good.
We met Gloria for lunch – Auntie Anne’s hot dog pretzels and some turkey sandwiches. Then, we squeezed in a pony ride for Ellie (her allowance splurge) and a carnival dart game for Madison (her allowance splurge).
Then, tired and a bit sunburned (me), we headed home.
And really, all I want at the fair is some of this kettle corn….
Until next year Wayne County Fair….
