Rough Day at the Fair


Our local county fair was this weekend, so despite being kind of tired from the races on Saturday, we went ahead and took the kids to the fair today (hey, it was free this year!). Ryan had no interest in the animals, with the possible exception of a newborn calf. In fact, he said he was afraid of them. He all but went berserk when we went into the poultry exhibit! When we saw the llamas and asked him if he knew what it was he said, "It's a cow." That's our city boy!

He really wanted to ride the kiddie roller coaster called the Tiger Ride, but after one lap he was screaming and clawing Mommy. So I had them stop the ride on the next lap, and we got off and watched Abby and Daddy enjoy it. They gave us a voucher to use on any other ride, so he chose the giant slide. I'm still not sure if he really enjoyed it. First he said he did but then he said he didn't want to do it again.



The things he seemed to think were pretty neat were the Monster Trucks and the tractors they had on display. All in all, I don't think Ryan enjoyed the fair very much (though he cried all the way to the car because he said he didn't want to leave!).
