Fun at the Fair!

We were at our local carnival for 12 hours on Saturday and we had a blast (although Cam ended up being called off to work for about 4 hours and had to leave me there with all the kids by myself but we made it and Cam returned just in time to see Motley Crue and the firworks)! Cameron was lucky enough to get free VIP tickets through his work so we really took advantage of it!

Poor Andin couldn't go on the bee ride or any other ride for that matter and he just broke my heart with his big tears. I was relieved when they said he could go on the "horsie" ride if I went with him! He loved it and kept wanting to go again and again!


This parade was actually quite good! The theme was China and there were alot of really cool chinese acrobats and floats.
Even Shayla enjoyed it!
It was a really hot day...in the upper 80's with about 90% humidity but luckily it was over cast and when the sun hid behind the clouds it was quite enjoyable. We tried to make the kids lay on this blanket (shaded by a big guy to our right) to keep them from getting burned! Ryler was just a little too short to ride by himself and luckily they let me go with him!
We also watched a really cool dolphin show, tiger show, chinese acrobats and later on a pitiful display of fireworks! We laughed because in Utah the whole city would be spread out with their blankets but I think we were the only ones paying attention to the fireworks and they were really short and far and few in between each one. The finale lasted about 5 seconds! It was still worth waiting for to see the kids enjoy it! What a day!
