Fair! Goshen County Fair!

We have lived here for almost 3 years and have only gone to fair once…. Yes, just once. I remember going to the fair when I was younger but all I really recall about that is the few rides that I would bravely ride (oh, yes, I’m a weenie) and not feeling so well later. We didn’t have a look around at all the exhibits or the animals.

My mother in law used to take the kids to the Jackson County Fair in Oregon when they were young. They loved it. I never went- was usually working or something.

So this year I decided we would go –and we would ride the rides! I had originally thought of getting wristbands for the kids but realized they are *my* children. They wouldn’t ride more than 5 rides (what it would take for the wristband to be paid for).

I rode on two rides…that’s all I could handle. Here is the first ride I was on, with Lee (who is afraid of heights I might add!)

It is called the Fire Ball. I bet it is awesome looking at night. It was about 5:30 pm when we were there. See how lively the fair is here… *cricket chirps*

Here is the first ride the kids went on (and Fox decided last moment that no, he didn’t want to ride it- sorry, promise had been made, deal done, buddy!)

I don’t recall at this moment what it was called.

Finally, the kids and I all went on one called the Arctic Blast. We went on it on Thursday when we went to the fair and loved it! The kids rode it twice tonight. I could only ride once. That Fire Ball turned my insides around/upside down and I wasn’t feeling so peachy. But the Arctic Blast was fun so I went on it, too.

That photo is from when they went and I didn’t. I had to hold all of our stuff (water, Fox’s shaved ice, etc.). We had a lot of fun at the fair. I’m really glad I didn’t spend the money on wristbands though. I bought a water, Fox’s shaved ice and 37 tickets which all together cost me $40. Lee bought herself some water and she also played two rounds of uh, throwing darts at balloons (lol, what, that’s not what the name is??). She won this:

An angry bird plushie… hmmm. Well, it is what she wanted!

So that was our time at fair. I’m glad we went- I’m glad we didn’t stay longer- I’m glad I rode the huge ride- I’m glad I’m home on solid ground And now to make dinner!
