Etown Fair 2010

The Etown Fair

IF the pig race was at this fair, it would be our most favorite fair to go to!!!!

I took the girls Thursday afternoon at 3pm and it was empty... they each got a $10 wrist band and got to ride as many rides as they wanted until 6pm... Totally worth the money!!!

Usually I don't let them on rides at fairs b/c I don't really trust teh guys putting them up and taking them down, but I went with it, relaxed and watched them enjoy their youth!!

They had a BLAST!!!!

They both did some ride that surprised me, but I feel like I blog about their cgrowing courage all the time, so I won't this time.

Here's Jenni on the 50 foot slide... Jaylee is right behind her.

Notice that she is riding alone AND her hands are up.

This slide actually hurt Jaylee's booty b/c you'd catch air on the humps. 

We have a blast when it's just us, but he girls always look forward to shwoing Daddy all of their new accomplishments.

Jason got there at 5:30 and we had a busy 1/2 hour showing him all of the new rides teh girls had conquered...

Like this one...

***GRAVITRON***

This was my most favorite ride growing up and I knew Jaylee would love it.

She was very nervous going in on her own, not really knowing what to expect...

                                                    But by her 5th ride, she was a Pro!!

She had even figured out how to ride it upside down!!!

Jennibelle loved the loud music coming from the ride.

She practiced her dance moves to keep herself entertained...

and me, of course:)

Jaylee even did the ferris wheel.

Isn't funny that I LOVE rollercoasters but am terrified of a Ferris Wheel?!?

Drum Roll...

The ride we remember from year to year...

"the bouncy trampoline strappedi n to do flips thingy"

Jenni went first this year...

$5 for 5 mins and the kids love every minute of it!!!

I love capturing pure joy in their faces!!!!

With Jaylee, it was harder to catch the joy...

She looked more like Cousin It,

though I assure you she was laughing and having a great time!!!!

Jaylee's favorite part of the Fair is always haning out with the animals...

This fair has the best petting zoo, by far.

 

They love holding the bunnies and watching baby chicks hatch.

She could spend teh whole day here!!

She asked if she could volunteer at the Bunny Booth next year!!

This year we found a cool contest...

A HAY BALE THROWING contest.

The girls did AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Jenni was in the Age4-5 bracket with girls and boys.

Had it been only girls, she would have won the trophy!!!

She took 4th or 5th place, losing only to some big 5 year old boys.

We were so excited for her, though she was a little bummed that she didn't get the trophy.

BUT she did get a huge bag of candy as a prize, which helped!!

We were all nervous when they were announcing the winner b/c we knew her throw was super close...

Here's a pic of Jaylee waiting...

she told me she had butterflies in her stomach b/c she was so nervous.

I could see it in her face too when she threw it!

BUT...

she threw it so far!!!

The men behind us were discussing and the one didn't believe it when the other one said that it was a girl who threw it!!  (I guess he missed her actual throw)

I didn't want to turn around b/c I had the proudest face ever!!

FUN FUN FUN!!!

I do NOT want them to head to school next week.

I never understand when I hear Mom's counting down to school's return.

I LVOE them sooo mucha nd love hanging out with them.

I will be very lonely next week...

I'll prob be at your house Mandy!!!
