The County Fair

Taylor and I both had a first this last weekend. We went to the county fair. By that I mean... we went to the carnival. Todd and Ryley went to the mud bog tractor pull and ATV races earlier in the week but Taylor and I stayed home.

What they say about county fairs is true. There is some seriously great people watching to be done. I was in voyeur paradise. I could have taken so many pictures but I restrained myself.

Here's Taylor with daddy. I would post the picture of her with me but it's not that great.

I won't post the picture I have of Ryley on the blender ride since I'm not sure how Mrs. E feels about having her picture plastered on the web, or her child's for that matter. However, I'm terribly proud of Ryley for getting on the scary big kid rides. He did great. He wasn't sure about the Spider in the first 30 seconds but after I put my arm around him and he figured out he wasn't going to fall out... he had a blast!

By the way, if you ever puke on a ride at a carnival, they hose you down with a fire hose looking jobby.
