The Fair: Part 1

On Saturday, my kids were up and ready to go to the fair.   No one was as ready as Travis.  Little Jaggar didn't even remember it because he was too small the last time that we went, but I had showed him some pictures from this blog to remind him.  Of course, he didn't remember, but a picture of him on a ride was enough for him.  I have quite a few pics, so I'll just separate them into what I think is enough per post. 

The rides didn't open until noon, but there are plenty of exhibits once you get inside.  I just thought the piece in the foyer was pretty.  Of course, it didn't show up great on my phone.

 After we watched the same dance company from last year that allows kids with special needs to dance (tears again), we walked and found the bird booth where they help injured birds.  It's hard to see in this pic, but a tiny owl is to Sage's left.  It was so cute.

 THEN the kids wanted their faces painted.  Actually, I didn't get a pic, but before this, we found a booth with "pandora" beads and bracelets.  Sage has been asking for one, but a hundreds of dollars bracelet just doesn't seem appropriate to me for an 8 year old.  So this was a nice fix.  I should have taken a picture, but her bracelet turned out very pretty, and she is very proud of it.  On to the face paint.

 She chose a rainbow tiger.

 The lady asked if she should paint around Jaggar's eyes, and I said, 'Do it just like the pic. He will sit there."  She was surprised at how calm and still he was.  He chose Spiderman.  I love how he has his hands folded.

 Finished product.  Isn't that cute?

 This was just funny.

 I don't know if this is the same pig every year, but she is ALWAYS breastfeeding.  Poor pig.

 Remember the traffic school that Sage always did?  She's now TOO big for this and some kiddie rides.  Like literally, there's a height limit that can be too much for certain rides too, and it was crazy that she was above it for some.  Anyway, Jaggar was PERFECT for the traffic school because he's awesome on a bike, AND he thinks he can tell me when to GOOOO in the car every time I'm at a light.

 How cute is that boy?

 Precious boy

 The fam.  It was funny because Amber and my cousin, Lindsey and her mom were all at the fair, and we ran into them ALL, even amongst thousands of people. I actually saw Amber throughout the whole day and night.  Plus I ran into my friend Caitlyn, too.  That's my brother's girlfriend, Heather, who we met for the first time.  I really liked her too.
