The Fair

We took the boys to the York Fair for the first time and it was a total blast! The weather was great, it wasn't extremely crowded and it smelled so good :) Pit beef, cotton candy, funnel cakes. Fried EVERYTHING from oreos to veggies.

I must say the pig races were my favorite part. Someone also gave the boys fried oreos, they loved those!

No shortage of pork around here :)
Eli was so excited to go on the rides, he wasn't afraid at all.
The first picture is Eli in the fun house, it spins and he lost his balance and fell right on his keister. It was great! Both the boys insisted on cowboy hats and they trotted around in those for a while. Gabe was shoveling handfuls of cotton candy in his mouth at once.

Unfortunately we won a goldfish. The boys won't let me flush it so brian had to buy food and a fish bowl today. Eli was really impressed with 'snake girl' the optical illusion. Brian getting thrown from the mechanical bull was pretty entertaining too. :)

Great pictures. I never did make it to the fair this year. I really should have went. Oh well. There's always next year.

What? No picture of Brian being thrown from the bull? You really dropped the ball on that one.

I can't call you because I am a loser and don't have long distance capability on my phone. Lame, I know. But you'll be glad to know that I am doing much better now. That was written during a late-night emotional breakdown. It was raw and real so I decided to leave it. I'm Ok though, I promise.

Back to your blog. Those boys of your are adorable. I love the pig snouts. We just went to the fair this weekend and didn't get snouts and I think we were ripped off!
