Going to the fair with Hailey is a BLAST!!!!!! She is just like her daddy....LOVES the fast-moving, spinning, thrill-seeking rides. And, will go on them over and over and over again if we would let her. Hailey, Ryan, Chris, Doug, Doran and I went to the fair today at 12:00 and didn't leave until 4:30. As you can tell by the times, that means the kids didn't get a nap. Of course Ryan wouldn't give in and go to sleep in the stroller, but he did catch about 15 minutes on the way home (and I got great video of him smiling and laughing but his eyes won't open as he is half asleep at the time!!). Hailey had so much fun going on all the rides. She probably went on 12 rides (give or take a few!!). She would have went on more, but we said no. :) She also ate her body weight in SUGAR too!! Between the straight sugar tube of candy, almost a whole bag of cotton candy, milkshake, and a few bites of everything else...she should be up for DAYS! :) Thankfully, with no nap, she is finally in bed and should be asleep within minutes! Here is a pictorial of our day at the fair (and this is only a small sample of the pictures...we (well...mostly me of course) took over 225 pictures at the fair alone!!).
Ryan's first time on a roller coaster. It was NOT a pleasant experience for him! :( Hailey loved it!! First picture is Hailey and I before the ride. Second picture is all four of us. You can see Ryan's little hand up (probably trying to get OUT!) and then behind Chris and Ryan is Hailey and I ... both of us with our arms up. (Helpful trick...click any picture to enlarge it!!)
Hailey went down the "Fun Slide" at least 3 times. I got one of them on video too. I wish I could include that, but instead here is a picture of Chris and Ryan on the purple slide, and Hailey on the blue slide.
Next we thought a nice, slow right might help Ryan so we took him on the kiddie train ride. He LOVED it (as you can tell by the picture!!).
Hailey went on the Tilt-a-whirl TWICE and the Dizzy Dinosaurs once (same concept of rides!!). One time she managed to talk Grandma Pilcher into going along too. BIG MISTAKE for Doran!! With Chris on the ride, he went CRAZY on making the thing spin! The second picture is them in the middle of a spin. Enlarge it and look at all three of their faces! It should make ANYONE smile/laugh!! :)
Hailey also saw the bungy-jumping that was going on and wanted to try it. She didn't get as high as others because she was so small, but did quite well and went high enough for me!! I also got a nice video of this too! :) She was so exhausted too at this point of the day she didn't have the strength to really jump high either. :)
The HIGHLIGHT of Ryan's day...........seeing a small, BLUE BIKE!! He was SO EXCITED and wanted to get on it and go for a ride. This is his PERFECT BIKE! Just look at his smile and you know he LOVED it!!! Too bad you had to play a video game to try to win it. I wanted Shane to be here to win it for him!!!
Ryan also got to "Build Your Own Car" and thought that was neat. Too bad when he was done, he wanted to exchange his new car for the nice BLUE one on the table!!! :)
Who knew playing with CORN would be so much fun?!?!
And of course there were animals as well. Here are both kids trying to feed some!!
And, finally, Ryan.
Going....
Going....
Gone......
