Every year I make Nicki and her boys go with us to the fair. It’s just something I want my boys to experience. I am not, in general, a fair person, but I am an ‘any opportunity to ride a ride’ person. So I want my kids to have those opportunities. So, when I found out that the fair has a ‘kids’ day each year, where each kid gets 5 free rides, I decided to take the kids as long as they qualify. Last year, I had a fear that Matthew was too big as he didn’t seemed thrilled with the rides, but he still enjoyed it this year, so we got another year out of him! Woohooo! This was the first year that Lukie was too big, so that was sad. But he did go with us and got to ride on the ferris wheel trip that we all take part in (I don’t think I have to force Nicki into that. She always seems more than ready to do that with me.) 🙂
Anyway, this year was just as much fun, even though it was the hottest day of the week. We kept our visit, this time, to just the five free rides which put us there for an hour. Not too bad, but we were definitely ready for the AC when we were finished.
