Fair Fun

I haven't been to the Monroe Fair in years but thought Keaton would be old enough this year to enjoy it.  He even dressed for the occasion wearing his John Deere tractor shirt.  I noticed right away that nothing changes at the fair from year to year (the same corn dog/cotton candy stand was in the same place as it was 20 years ago when I worked at it).

Brian came with us on Two Dollar Tuesday and good thing admission was only two dollars because we needed all our extra money for the fair rides.  I didn't think there would be more than one or two that Keaton could go on but he was just tall enough for quite a few.  He even went on his first roller coaster.  I thought the motorcycle would be the highlight but by that time in the day he was hot and tired and not looking too good..

 

I thought he would enjoy the animals since he tends to get more excited about domestic/common animals than he does the exotic ones at the zoo.  He thought the baby pigs were pretty great and fed them hay.  We saw a one day old goat which I thought was pretty cool.

 

 

The drive home turned out to not be very much fun....hot and over tired Keaton screamed the whole way from Monroe to Seattle.  I figured he would take a great nap but no nap.  Instead once we were home he got his second wind and was crazy for the rest of the day!  Two days later he told his dad about the animals and rides at the fair...not sure why it took him two days to bring it up...
