The Boy Loves Rides

The County Fair is going on this week and we finally got a chance to go and check it out. They have a huge barn that you could walk through to see all sorts of livestock and, of course, had all the fair rides and food. I figured that we would just check out the animals and then just walk around, but Andy was really interested in all the rides. So, I bought us a hand full of tickets and ventured out to find something we could actually go on. I was surprised at how many rides they had available for little kids. We tried out a few that we both went on and then Andy fell in love with the truck train ride...no parents allowed. He had to ride it several times.
One of the main reasons I wanted to go was to check out the camel rides. They didn't start doing them until 6:45 and Andy was getting really tired, so I wasn't sure if he would do it or not. I tried to see if he would get on the camel, but he got a little upset, so I knew that it was time to go. I was so bummed! Oh well, maybe next year!




Andy was amazed at the loud "cock-a-doodle-doo's" coming from the roosters.

This little guy was hungry for some plastic!


Not quite sure what to think about all the cow hineys!
So, one of the rides we went on together looked like a simple little bus that just went up and down. Well, when they had the bar come down over our laps, I started to get a little nervous. This thing moved quite fast and went in a giant circle. Andy had the death grip on the bar, but did great on the ride. As long as I kept saying "yay, this is fun" then he seemed ok, but not quite sure he was a huge fan! By the end, he didn't want to get off, so maybe I have a little thrill seeker in the works!


Truck train ride time!




A veteran train rider by now, Andy got a little impatient waiting on all the kids to board the ride.

You can't go to the fair and not get something healthy to eat!!

Cute, Jamie! I love the one where you can see his face in the side-view mirror. You're getting good at that!! You're such a big boy, Andy. Love you.

Oh, Jamie, you are such a great mommy! Such great pictures....I agree with Shannon. I love the one of his face in the mirror. Thanks for sharing the pics and video...even though I would have loved to have been there in person!! Love you!
