Grammy and I took Ellie to the fair last Friday morning. Unfortunately our schedule with football didn't allow for us to come on the weekend for Josh to come too-but we had a blast! We had told her all week that she was going to see animals on Friday and she obsessively reminded us of that fact every single chance that she got.
We spent the majority of our time with the animals. The horses were definitely her favorite and she loved watching the teenagers riding them around in the ring.
She rode 3 rides--the merry go round (of course), the train and then she wanted to ride the caterpillar (mini) rollercoaster so I rode it with her. She loved it until the mini drop--I guess her stomach dropped too--and she looked at me and signed and said "done". We still had another loop around unfortunately and she burst into tears after we went down the drop again. I'm afraid she may be traumatized for life. Fingers crossed she will get over her fear and will want to ride roller coasters with me when she's older! Josh has no interest and I love them!
Pure delight watching the neigh-neighs!
She loved the fair food too and shared some corn dog, fiske fries, an otis spunkenmeyer cookie, and some ice cream on the way out. She also slurped up my lemonade like she had never tasted anything so good before in her life!
One of our favorite fall traditions...can't wait until next year!
