My fair highlight this year was working the Pampered Chef booth. I took Thursday and Friday afternoon off from work and enjoyed watching people, saying "hi" to friends and meeting new people as they perused through the Home Economics building. Business-wise the time was well spent, too. My only misery was the temptation of the pastry contest items displayed across from my booth. Smelled sooo good!
Since I got into the fair free both days, Graham and the kids met me Friday night after my shift. We enjoyed some unhealthy fair food then rode the Ferris wheel, the super slide and a kids roller coaster that Gideon ended up getting off after the first trip around the track. We'll try that one again next year. :)
Hannah, of course loved seeing all the animals. She wasn't so fond of the cows, but loved the horsies. As you can read to the right, Gideon only enjoyed a select few of the animals, but went along anyway with ears covered or his nose plugged. The ride the kids enjoyed the most was the bumper cars. Even though we ran out of tickets to actually ride them, they loved just watching everybody crash into each other and laugh. Two weeks later and Hannah still talks about the 'bumpy cars.'
The fair ran through Monday, so after Hannah's party, we decided to go back so we could see the Frontier Village (which closed before we got there Friday) and the animals again (per Hannah's request). Since it was the last few hours of the last day, we got in free again. Woohoo!
