Fair

So strange to have a fair in February, but that's how they do it down here. It makes sense -- the summers are so hot and the weather right now is really ideal to be out. Okay... I'm done talking about the gorgeous weather for all you frozen friends. It's completely inconsiderate. :) We went to the fair on Sunday. Tony has been at the fair every day. The chiropractor he is working for has a booth there, so he is there from noon-10 p.m. every day. It is such a bummer for us -- we are really missing him at home! It will be this way until next Sunday. Ugh.

So I loaded the munchkins up and we went to see Tony. He was the only one at the booth when we first got there, so we had to kill some time before he could take a break. So we went to find the animals. We saw bunnies, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, cows and horses. Kaiya enjoyed it, but was a little worried that the animals might not stay in their cages. I'm not sure she understood how the cages worked.

When Tony was able to take a break from his booth, we went to check out the rides. Poor little Kaiya wanted to do lots of rides, but she is about 2 inches too short for them. Maybe next year. Here is the picture of her on the two rides that she could do. The first she rode by herself and she seemed to really like it. She had a very serious expression on her face until she would pass by Tony or I and then we could get a grin out of her. She lucked out and was able to go on this one twice for free. The first time she was the only one on it and then another little girl came up so he stopped it and let Kaiya go again. The second time around I thought she looked like she was gonna hurl. It was hilarious. She didn't really crack a smile that time around. But when Tony got her off, she was really, really excited and wanted to do it again. :)
After that she got to ride the carousel. She has been watching Mary Poppins lately, so she was excited to ride a horse just like Mary Poppins does. This is the first horse they chose, but realized that it was one that didn't move at all...
So they switched to this one. She did really good on this ride until about halfway through when I could see her crying. :) She wanted to hold onto Tony instead of the horse. So the rest of the ride she held onto his neck with one hand, and the horse with the other.
The beginnning of the meltdown. :)

So... that's the fair. :) It was good for us to get out of the house. My dad comes tomorrow for a week long visit. I'm so excited! It's perfect timing too with Tony being tied up late into the night with the fair. I'll have someone to help out and keep me company.
