The State Fair!

Luke had his first official trip to the State Fair last week. It was such a beautiful day to go. He loved it and really enjoyed everything we did.


we got to see the pigs, which we had to drag him away from....


and we ate lots of yummy fair food...like corn dogs...


and waved to the people on the tractors going by....


and even drank an Orange Shake-up. which literally tasted like you stuck a straw directly into an orange. it was so yummy!


But his most favorite thing was the rides. Oh yes, my boy wanted to ride every ride he could. So we started with a somewhat safe ride....the Carousel. (I will say though...that thing went fast!!! I had to really plant my feet as we went around in circles...it was crazy!)


Unfortantely, Luke wasn't quite tall enough to ride all the rides he wanted. He needed to be 36". Luke is 33". sorry buddy! next year okay??


So, we walked through the rides to watch them, just for fun. Then....we came across this....


Yes...oh yes...that is us. climbing up that huge scary slide. (we are almost to the top...I'm in black) We went by it and Luke was freaking out because he wanted to go down it...like freaking out. So, we got some tickets and away we went. and let me tell you. that is one of the scariest things I have ever done with him. It was so high and I was so paranoid we were going to fall....but we made it......

and after trying to grab ahold of my kid as we were trying to get on that stinkin potatoe sack (he tried to sit next to me and GO DOWN BY HIMSELF!)
we made it safely down. whew. He loved it. Every minute of it. He desperately tried to get us to go again...but we didn't. I told him had to wait until next year when Daddy could take him down it. :)

Thanks Grammy and Grandpa Jeff for taking us to the fair. We had so much fun.
