The County Fair

We had so much fun at the fair last night. Gray liked few things and well a few things he didn't. We tried putting him on one of the little rides...A big apple in the middle and the worms go round and round? He freaked out. First, he didn't like wearing the seat belt, then it took too long for the guy to turn it on, then he turned it on. I have never seen such horror on my sons face! I made Chris tell the guy to stop the ride. Then we tried the merry-go-round. He wasn't sure about this one but was willing to give it a go since Granny was with him. He would not however sit on the horse. Then we let him "go fishing". There was little kiddie pools filled with water and rubber ducks. They gave you a little dip net and if you scooped up three ducks you win. Gray did very well at this, it took two tries, but we walked away with an inflatable Nemo. We also got to see some moo-cows, goats, bunnies, chickens (these were some of the most beautiful chickens I have ever seen), and pigs. We at corn dogs, some terrible gumbo, and of course funnel cakes. On the way out, We let Gray go down the big slides. He loved this part....twice. Once with me and once with Chris. He walked all the way up the stairs and was trying to go down by himself! By this time it was 9:00 and we were all exhausted. Overall, a fantastic time at the fair. We are looking forward to next year!
