Fair Day '08

We have learned a lot over the last few years about the fair, what we think is the most fun, and how we like to spend our day. We start with the petting zoo. James really likes the mean ostrich who flails around wildly while he eats, then tries to bite your finger off. Most people heed the warning signs and feed him from the shovels or cups they provide. Not James . . . .

Here's the "surprising" bite he got from the mean ostrich.

The kids like to go on the scary high rides that the old folks are too scared to go on now. So Cal and Kayla stand in line and ride together while we sit and wait, amazed at how big and brave they are.

We're even more amazed that not only are they not fighting, they are actually enjoying and taking care of each other!


After the rides, we play some of the games on the midway. Cal won several basketball games and got a Mavericks and a Lakers basketball.



Kayla beat Dad in the water gun race. She won a Longhorn. Dad won the huge Cheetah on a basketball game. Kayla also threw darts at balloons to win a unicorn.

As we left the park, Jordan Pruitt was playing! Kayla was very excited.

James not following the sign rules? What a shock! Be sure and take a picture of the missing finger next year - it'll be great for Halloween.
