My Fair Toddler

It was almost as if they knew we were taking them to the fair this morning. Why? Because these two, who have walked five mornings a week together for the past five-and-a-half-months in perfectly happy spirits, ended up fussing the entire walk.

The weather was perfect. We went in the morning, so it was still cool. (I think I brought back the Texas weather with me. It wouldn't be the first time.) There weren't too many people there yet, so we got great parking spots and had to deal with very little crowds. And the best part? It was if-you-have-a-kid-with-you-you-get-in-for-free day at the fair. Best ever! I'm all about free stuff! :)

Funny thing, by the time we were walking around the fair, these two decided to be on their best behavior. ;)

They were completely mesmerized by the loud noises, big rides, people everywhere, balloons, animals, vendors. You name it, they were staring bug-eyed at it.

The toddler's favorite part of the fair was definitely seeing the animals and getting to pet them. I actually had to remove his leg from inside three separate cages. He didn't just want to pet those goats and sheep; he wanted to saddle them up and ride them around the fair. No lie.

"Mom, can we keep one?"

The cutest thing of all was that he thought all of the animals were dogs. So every animal we saw, "DOG! DOG! DOGGIE!!!!"

The only ride that we ended up riding was the ferris wheel. I love going to the fair, and I especially love riding on the ferris wheel. The toddler...not so much. But he hung in there.

Little miss enjoyed herself much more than my little one. :)

We also ate some seriously-unhealthy-but-seriously-delicious fair food. We had fried Oreos. Yuuuuum.

Cotton candy...

Corn on the cob...

And, graham crackers and lemonade...

Of course we had to purchase a Spider Man, since the little man is obsessed with "Spider!" as he calls his favorite super hero.

And how did we leave the fair, other than full and happy?

Completely pooped. :)
