Fall fair fun!

Today we went to the fall fair in a nearby town. It was so much fun! We had no idea it was such a big fair... with a midway, rides, games, horse shows, dog shows, tractor pulls, etc. It made me so nostalgic for my childhood days at the Ex. Olan took to carnival life like a champ and mowed his way through our big sheet of ride tickets. He even went on his first rollercoaster and the ferris wheel all my HIMSELF! His height really came in handy, I think he was probably the only two-year-old on the Go-Gator rollercoaster. :) He also played this magnetic frog fishing game and won the biggest prize, a huge spiderman hammer that he can terrorize everyone in the family with. He proudly carried his prize around the fair, just like the big boys!

Waiting to be strapped in for the train ride

Merry-go-round!

Some kind of truck ride, Olan was chatting up some kids in the car behind him, maybe not the best driver. :)

The frog game

Big prizewinner!

Testing out all the front end loaders and what-not.

WoooooooHooooooooo! We almost got air! I wouldn't let him go by himself- either because I really wanted to go myself or because I'm a conscientious mother. ;)

"To infinity and beyond!" This went so fast it made me dizzy to watch. He just laughed.


Go-Gator, his first rollercoaster!

All smiles!

Up in the ferris wheel

So high!

This looks like wicked fun. Nice prize too (seriously he carried that huge hammer around)!? Tell him we are all very impressed. Thanks for the blog of Logan too. They look just like rock stars :)

It was! Would have been even better if Belle had been by his side. She would've LOVED it! We definitely have to take them to the Ex next year!

I love the rock star pics... and Logan with skinny jeans? I have to get a pair for Olan, they are so hardcore ;)
