We had such a great time at the fair last Friday! Daniel and I are die-hard fair fans, so we look forward to this time of year so much! The weather was absolutely perfect: cool and clear.

The view from the top of the
Ferris wheel.


Shortly after arriving, we bumped into our friends Joey and Crystal. Jackson and Ellis kept each other company in their strollers while Jake and Rivers rode a few rides together. Crystal and I and Joey and Daniel even managed to race each other on the EuroSlide with the kids on our laps. It was so much fun!


This is a blurry picture of the dragon
rollercoaster that Rivers almost FELL out of. Right after I shot this picture, Rivers put her hands up as the car rounded the corner and it appeared as though her upper torso went up slightly over the side of the car. The four of us gasped, and I was shocked that she didn't fall out. We yelled for Jake to hold onto Rivers and for Rivers to hold onto the bar. SCARY!

Rivers loved sharing a
corn dog with Jackson.

It's so fun to ride as a family on the
Ferris wheel.


All of us shared an elephant ear with cinnamon, sugar, and apples. YUM!

Jackson, you see, is barefoot. He takes his shoes off all of the time now after we just had a great stint of keeping them on.
At least he's not licking the pole this year!

Rivers got to be the conductor on the train. She rang the bell the whole time.
We wrapped up with a pretty late night for us...9:30, but we had SO much fun that it was hard to leave!
