State Fair

As soon as we got occupancy of our new school, summer was over. It was a family job to get my classroom set up. I am very lucky to have such a hard working family willing to help. We did take a day off to go to the State Fair. We go on kids day every year. The kids get in free and rides are half price. I love the fair and so do the kids. Jack will do a few kiddie rides and he loves the games to win a fabulous stuffed animal. Ellie likes some rides. I have to admit I have never liked fair rides, too much spinning. The kids and I love the ferris wheel(that one scares Doug). We also like the chair lift above the fair. Of course we spend time with the animals, other attractions, and we EAT a lot! It's a great family day!

This was the first year for catch and release fishing, and Jack caught a fish!

Who doesn't love Smokey the Bear?

Oh how they love those silly stuffed animals

The big swing was Ellie's favorite, I think she went on 3 times.
