Hitting The Fair!

Ever since we told Nicholas we were going to the fair, he was SO excited! He woke up at 6:30 raring to go! He was telling us he wanted to go on the roller coaster...

but as we were on the foot bridge, he spotted the ferris wheel and never stopped talking about it.


For the first time, I think the butter sculpture made an impact on him, especially since he's all about asking "how" and "why" to everything these days.

Wouldn't be the fair without fresh chocolate milk!



Considering William is still so young, he was absolutely wonderful the entire day. He seemed a bit nervous in the stroller in the crowds, but loved time in the carriers, as he always does.



Our first "meal" - Belgian fries (Daddy was attracted to the double fried feature), a fried pickle and kettle corn for the little one.



We all thoroughly enjoyed our share of fair food! Nicholas got an ice cream cone (and wore half of it), Daddy got me to try fried alligator and speedie kangaroo with him...and the fried pickle was actually quite good! A kind woman also shared her fried peanut butter & jelly with us - which was fabulous! Of course, there were also our must-haves of Daddy's $10 cheese steak sandwich and fried dough for me!


Off to the Midway!

Nicholas checked out a bunch of kiddie rides, but kept asking about the ferris wheel. We thought he'd be a shue-in for the airplanes, once we knew he was tall enough.



"No planes, I want the ferris wheel!"





That giant wheel was left for Daddy - this Mommy doesn't do heights! This boy just loved it (that is until it was over!)




There were plenty of animals to see (and smell).



The whole fam at the fair!



Nicholas was in awe watching the drum squad.


One of William's little cat naps.

Nicholas even go to check out the cockpit of an F16 (can you tell Daddy wanted to jump in too!).

Considering we had a nursing 3 month old and a newly potty-trained toddler, we sure had a successful day!

What a fun-filled day at the Fair!
