We go to the State Fair every year - I never thought I would be one to enjoy it, but I think we love going just as much as the boys! We try to go when they have the Midway Specials (a wristband for one set price so the kids can go on as many rides as they want). Today was opening day - so we went when Shawn got home from work. It was actually a great time to go as it wasn't too crowded. We got into the fairgrounds and the kids were riding rides by 6:30pm. We were home by 11:00, the boys were showered and in bed by 11:30 - they're still sleeping now as I write this post!!! Guess they had fun too!
Grant and Blake thought they were pretty cool driving the cars in their sunglasses.
Grant leading the way on the bouncy bridge on the "Indiana Jones" maze - Blake was pretty brave - he was 2 inches shorter than the required height, but the nice guy working it said he could try it anyway (Blake kept insisting he could do it - guess he was persuasive enough, and he did it better than some of the older kids)!
Evan and Grant enjoying the bumper cars.
Driving the big rig trucks - it's always nice to see the 3 of them actually enjoying each other instead of fighting all the time!!!
Getting ready to take off in the Hot Air Balloon ride.
And no state fair is complete without a funnel cake - made by our good friends and employer for the races we work, Urick Concessions. They also won the State Fair Food Contest again this year for their Deep Fried Bananas Foster Cheescake on a Stick - can I just say DELICIOUS! Stop by one of their booths if you go - the food is always awesome!!!
A little slide fun - you'll notice Grant is a little upset that he didn't beat Evan and Blake on the way down! So cute though!

What cute pictures. The boys look like they really enjoyed the fair. I have never gone, but maybe this year; and the Deep Fried Bananas Foster sounds Yummo!
Always a good time at the fair... we really go for the food. Fat Free and Fun!
