friday at the fair

Greg and I always look forward to the fair. We plan well in advance when we are going, take a day off of work, buy advance tickets to save money, plan which free park and ride lot we will park at, etc. Normally I hate being in crowded places but I LOVE the fair. It's mainly the food that I love but it's just fun to do some good old-fashioned people watching too. Last year at the fair I was 38 weeks pregnant. I kept telling Meredith that last year she was at the fair inside my belly. She's going to grow up looking forward to the fair every year. Her favorite part about the fair was the Miracle of Birth barn. If you read my blog, you can see how much she loves getting close to animals in my zoo post a couple down. She must have been the most excited kid in the whole barn with her arms and legs flapping up and down, panting like a maniac, and jumping up and down. It was pretty darn cute. I love it when she can make other moms smile with her cuteness!

Our menu consisted of:
mini doughnuts

fried pickles

fresh french fries

sweet martha's cookies

shredded turkey sandwich

cheese curds

Meredith had some mini doughnuts for breakfast, a few of my pickles, and almost a whole turkey sandwich.

I'm contemplating going to the fair again this coming Friday. I seriously didn't get to eat everything I wanted to eat.

We found some time to toddle around. We actually were just looking for a place to change her diaper. Some of the restrooms at the fair don't have changing tables.

Something caught her eye here.

I just thought this was a cute picture.

This is her breakfast - mini doughnuts.

And this is her lunch - turkey sandwich.

Of course we had to pose by the Snoopy statue.

And just for fun, I thought I'd share these. We were eating our french fries and this ride happens to whirl right over our heads...even though we were a good 50 feet away from it. You couldn't pay me to EVER go on one of those rides.
