The County Fair!

This weekend was the county fair.

Which was good, cuz Abby's only been talking about going again since the day after it ended last year. Lol. That girl loves her animals.

This year, though, "Curious George Goes To the Fair" aired the week before, so she suddenly realized that the ferris wheel was not for decorative purposes only. You could actually ride on it!

Ever since then, she's reminded me several times that she and mommy were gonna ride the ferris wheel. I gave Natalie a heads-up.

 

I personall am terrified of the ferris wheel, so I wondered if she'd actually end up liking it... but she seemed pretty excited!

It didn't take long for her to spot it! :)

 

 

Waiting in line with Mama.

 

 

She didn't bat an eye watching it go round and round.

 

She was excited to get on...

 

 

...and even seemed good when they got buckled in.

 

 

Once it got going, however, it was another story!

 

 

Although she didn't cry, Abby hid her face in Mama's lap for most of the ride.

 

 

Maggie and I stood at the bottom waving at them when they went by and trying to get Abby to smile, lol.

 

When she got off, Maggie and I jokingly asked her, "Did you have fun?"

And she instantly replied, "Of course I did!" :)

 

After the ferris wheel, Natalie had a few tickets left, so Abby got to ride the carousel, too!

 

 

She loved the horsies - I saw her sweetly "petting" it when she went by! :)

 

She also rode the horse-cart ride (are we seeing a theme here?).

 

 

All in all, it was a fun time at the fair! We also got to see the animals with her - her favorite was the "cute tiny baby cow." :)
