Let's face it. Mommy needed a break from the madness that is providing care for two kids under the age of two for a month solid. So, when Becca suggested we take Taylor to the fair, I happily agreed.
The sun was setting when we arrived at the fairgrounds.
We stopped at the carnie food shack to get our cotton candy fix right away.
Taylor had been on the Merry Go Round with Gammy and PawPaw Jody before, but this one went at light speed. Becca was almost dizzy as she stumbled off the archaic machine.
Next, it was over to the barn to see the animals. We expected their to be a petting zoo setup for the kids, but we got cows. Taylor was enthused, but I was hoping for something better. Maybe a kangaroo...
The ferris wheel looked ominous. When I asked Taylor if she wanted to go for a ride, I received a flat, "No".
Taylor actually rode a ride by herself. It wasn't that scary; just mini cars and trucks rolling around a 20' diameter track, but still. . . it almost brought a tear to our eyes. Our little girl is growing up.
To cap off the evening, Daddy attempted to win Taylor a ridiculously large stuffed animal by throwing darts. I was given 7 darts and was supposed to pop 4 balloons to win a prize. I think the lady felt sorry for me when I only popped 2 balloons. She looked into Taylor's eyes, felt pity, and handed over a Hello Kitty stuffed animal. Thank you random carnie lady with a Russian accent.
