The last week of July means Norton County Fair. We didn't go to much of the day time activities, but we went out for the rides a couple nights. Tom and Katie were ecstatic when I explained on Friday that they were getting special bracelets that would let them ride all the rides as much as they wanted to.
They tried out the flying animals. Tom could barely reach the button that raised the animal, and didn't have the concept of holding it down to make it go up. So he'd just push the button and release, making the dragon bounce. He and Katie would shriek with laughter!
Tom chose to ride "The Table Ride." Given that we had no idea what that meant, we asked him to show us the ride. The spinning Rugrats ride is what he meant, OBviously, because there's a 'table' in the middle of the cup.
We spent as much time as possible at the bouncy castle.
And I got to cuddle with my baby.
No fair is complete without a funnel cake.
Would you believe it, Tom remembered his green tractor from last year and bogarted it again. He turned his steering wheel furiously side to side the whole time, and showed Katie behind him how to do it. Once when she was in a car on the opposite side from him, he suddenly stopped steering to look around. When he came around again, he called out to me asking where his Katie was. I told him she was on a different car and, deciding that was okay, he continued steering.
Katie was happy with her car.
Then they got to ride the flying animals again with this kid that we know from the library. He knew how to operate the button.
