Fair Day 2008

Last Monday was FAIR DAY! It was so fun to experience it through the eyes of a child....

F- Fun, fun, and more FUN!
A- A LOT of sugar.
I- "I want to stay here forever!" Maddie cried!
R- Rides that make you laugh AND cry!
D- "Do we get to come back next year?"
A- Amazing oohs and aaahs where ever we turned.
Y- "Yes, yes, YES! This is the best day EVER!" Ally exclaimed.


The excitement that they felt could not be contained. The energy and excitement they felt would bounce back and forth between them until you couldn't help but feel the child-like wonder yourself. They were on a natural high of cotton candy, games, prizes won, rides and face painting- tell me what more could a little one imagine!
This WAS the best day ever!

It is hard to describe the amount of fun the girls had at the fair. For Maddie, this was her 2nd time and she knew a little of what to expect but for Ally, it was ALL new for her and her eyes were huge the whole time, taking it all in. Including the rides. A few tears fell from her big eyes after she thought she really wanted to ride like Maddie and then when it actually happened....she had changed her mind....poor thing!

But then there were the rides that KEPT a smile on her face.....And it all ended with sopping wet feet that looked like really pale "old man" feet! They were the funniest looking feet that I have ever seen and when we saw them on the train ride home, it sent us all into uncontrollable giggles. Again, poor Ally!
It was a really fun day! I loved to be able to take both Maddie and Ally and spend this fun time with them before life gets busy with a new little one. And I am so glad that they both showed me how to experience it all through the eyes of a child.....what could be better!
