Fair Fun
Gracie had a blast tonight as we returned to the fair...this time to play.
Garren and I drew straws, and he got the wristband with Gracie to ride all the rides they wanted. (Actually, he volunteered, he loves rides and coasters and such and I didn't want to take that away from him)
Her favorite of course is the carousel, so that was what we hit first. We would "hit" the carousel 4 more times before the end of the evening. She had fun on the other rides, but this remains her favorite of all time.
She rode rides so many times I lost count. They had one of those huge slides there where you go down on burlap bags. I still remember going down one of those with my daddy. So, after some convincing, Gracie went down the slide on Daddy's lap. I could see her ear to ear grin by the time she was half way down! She loved it so much she went right back up again, and for a third time later.
Other firsts: Gracie went on her first roller coaster, or as she calls it "roller poster." It was a tiny one that looked like maybe a dragon. Garren said she was scared at first, but was okay after the 3rd loop.
After what seemed like hours of walking and riding, we packed it in. I wanted that delicious smelling BBQ I had found on Friday, and Gracie and Daddy wanted near by Taco Bell. So, we brought home a shmorgas board of late dinner choices.
Gracie had a fantastic time at the fair. It is shaping up to be an exciting week for her; first a roller poster, and then school orientation!

It looks like Gracie had lots of fun at the fair. I'm just amazed to see green grass in the fair pictures. We have forgotten what green grass looks like! We have forgotten what raindrops feel like too!
