The 2010 Fair

When we went to the fair this year, we had fun, but it wasn't the best of days to go. October has been a really hot month, and the day we went was no exception. And, we got there before the rides opened. Luckily, you could get in and look around, but when we started out looking at the animals, Mary Ellen was scared of them. She wanted to go on the Merry-go-round and didn't understand that it wasn't open yet. The funny thing was that when we got to the merry-go-round, she acted like she didn't want to do it, but once she got on it she was happy. It was the only ride that she rode, and she just seemed like it got too hot for her, which I would agree with!


Checking out everything!


Climbing in a ride that they had for kids to get in and check things out.


When we were waiting for things to open, we ended up right where they were bringing the Monster trucks in. From a distance, Mary Ellen thought that they were really neat, but as they got close and louder, they actually scared her. She definitely likes things a lot more from a distance than up close and personal!


She loved this fish display. I think that she would have stayed there for hours.


She realized real quickly that she did like the Merry-go-round!


Every time she went around, she would wave to me!


And of course, the fair wouldn't be complete without a funnel cake. Once we found a place to sit in the shade and got some food, Mary Ellen started to perk up a little. But, we decided that it was time to call it day, and hope that next year, the weather for the fair is a little cooler and we wait until it actually opens to go to it!
