Fair 2009!

Our family attended the fair on Demolition Derby night, which has become our tradition. Before the Derby we meandered through the kids section of the fair and let the kids ride a few rides (I was stingy on tickets since my two books of pre-bought ones were in my stolen purse! Curses!) After enjoying yummy Indian Fry Bread for dinner, we watched cars smash into each other - the boys loved it. Mia, not so much! She had her ears covered most of the time. We walked around and visited the livestock (Greg ended up buying us a pig! Now all we need is a big freezer...) and I convinced the boys to try the Gravitron - their first "big kid" ride. They had a blast! Kendra loved the big swings and they all rode the huge slides. After the hypnotist show the kids were bushed and Greg took them home so I could hang out with my sisters. I found out that my crazy-fast-upside-down-spinning ride limit is 3. I must be getting old! We had a fun time eating kettle corn and visiting - thanks girls!
Mia was jolted a bit when it started, but still had fun.

So glad I got Ben's face! He was holding on for dear life the whole time, then the controller tricked them into putting up their hands, saying it was the end of the ride, and swung them up again. Hahaha!

This little piggy went to market..

Bringing out our inner red-neck.

Kendra waved every time she went by, and blew kisses too, the sweetie!
