Last Friday night Eric and I went out to eat to celebrate the passing of the state inspection and then to the county fair. We were scoping it out for the kids. That should really say I wanted to ride the rides and I couldn't do that if I had the kids. Anyway, the highlight of the evening was watching sexy rexy and bobo brazil win the wrestling match. We stood and watched them tag team in a ring I was sure could collapse at any moment. In order to get the full effect we had to participate in the heckling. I shouted out a few " get him" and before I knew it Eric was yelling "drop the elbow". As spirited as we were we couldn't hold a candle to the little kids in front of us. They must have been groupies. It was almost too much fun to have in one night. Saturday we took the kids. It was the last day of the fair but wasn't very busy so it was great for the kids. I do hate it was during the day. The fair is so much more exciting under all the lights. We found the ones all the kids could ride and started there. First the carousel then the 4-wheelers. They had the most annoying horn and Jack found a way to hold down the button the entire time. I wanted to tell the girl to stop the ride so i could yank him off since he couldn't seem to hear me yelling as he passed. John wasn't tall enough for any of the other rides so while Ella and Jack rode the race cars Eric and John played a fishing game. Ella and I rode the swings together and Eric rode the parachutes with Ella and Jack. He obviously didn't realize how fast the ride went and that you also swing side to side as you go. I could hear Jack screaming with excitement as they passed. Their faces were priceless. We stop at the petting zoo where I pick up the bunny for the kids to pet. Too bad you weren't supposed to do that. How lame is it to have bunnies to pet but put up such a tall fence that only adults can reach? Around the final stretch and we find a train for John to ride. After a funnel cake, lemonade, and cotton candy we were on our way home. A great day at the county fair.

Whitney, I realize you got your education from Chilton County but come on! Read the signs!! That's why they make them!! Too funny! I would have done the same thing. Why have animals and not be able to pet them!
