So, needing a break already for our late started school year, we decided to go to the fair. After all, homeschoolers were recommending it, and who can say no to such great homeschool rates! We were happy to go.
We saw a few of the sideshows. This fair reminded me of hometowns fair a bit...same sort of size and feel...a bit.
And for the first time ever my kids got to go on rides!! I splurged on it and everyone got to pick a ride.
Really, they were grinning and having fun. Truly. It wasn't a waste. I hope. And yes, they had the whole ride to themselves!
I got to go on the bumper cars with the older four. Fortunately there were a few other people on this ride so there was enough smashing to keep it exciting. Kinda fun. But short. No wonder I've not bought tickets before!
We went home for dinner. Modifying our free fire hat's so they'd stay on. It was nice to get away from all the noise and busyness for an hour or two. Then we took Daddy along (and he had to pay the normal fair rate, too bad) and watched a demolition derby. The kids thought that was pretty neat. They did races in figure 8s first. Chilly out but an intersting experience for all.

well that sure sounds like a fun day for everyone!
Sounds like fun. I always enjoyed country fairs as well and it's nice to see that tradition is continuing.
