family night {county fair style}

our saturday evening can be summed up like this.




the smile that gives me butterflies.




a boy growing up so quickly.
(he protected his sister in the fun house, but she still needed to be rescued by the attendant.)




his first *big* ride. he talked non-stop the entire time and made me wrap my arm around his waist to keep him safe. he dubbed it

a little fun and a lot scary.

a sweetie kinda left out of the fun, but too tired to be bothered by it much. 




bumper cars!!!




her first funnel cake.  why does it have to taste so good?




so sleepy.




and they're off!




completely elated.  she sang songs of happiness and was totally smitten with her pink and white horsie.

thank you janel for the free fair passes and tickets. the yummy (and unhealthy) fair food tasted better knowing it was the only cost of our night.

and thank you random man at the fair for the additional free tickets.  my daughter loved riding the merry-go-round three more times because of you.
