Fair-mania

We made it to the fair this year! I always love going to the fair, so I made sure it was a priority. Sawyer has a new love of slides, so I started prepping him and getting him super excited to go on the Big Yellow slide. (My favorite thing at the fair since I was a little girl!) All we heard about from the backseat of the car on the drive down was: lellow slide, climb stairs! He was pumped, and I was too! We met Grammie and Anton there and headed straight for the slide. As we neared the slide, however, Sawyer spotted something a little more exciting. AIRPLANE ride. One look was all it took and he didn't care about the lellow slide anymore. Go figure! But we went on that first anyway. He loved the actual sliding part. He even got to go once with mommy, daddy, and Anton and a second time with Grammie.
Then the real fun began for Sawyer. He got to ride these 3 different times throughout the night. Talk about spoiled!
We hit the kiddie farm this year because Sawyer was old enough to enjoy it. I had never done it before, but they do a really cute job. The kids walk around and gather things from stations on the farm. When they finish, they get paid a fair dollar to spend on a treat.
Then we wandered over to see the animals. Sawyer is not a fan of big animals up close. But I couldn't resist getting a picture of him by the goats, screaming to get away. Mother of the year award, I know.
Afterwords, Shane, Anton and I all rode on the Pirate Ship. You know, the big one that swings back and forth. None of us had been on one for a long time, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one having fun! We even got the back row. Perfect for flying out of your seat as you reach the top and your stomach doing that awesome drop as you come back down! 

We completed our fair experience with a delicious funnel cake, because you definitely can't leave without one. See, I told you I loved the fair!!

Fun! I'm sad we missed going this year-next year for sure. Too bad my family was sick! Sawyers face is priceless in that airplane picture! So cute!
