A Day at the Fair

Over the weekend we had Jamboree Days and were able to have fun in our "home town". One day after the festivities ended here they struck up in nearby Lethbridge. We skipped out on the Parade and aren't planning to attend the fireworks as we have already just done that. What we did do was spend a day at the fair.

We spent three hours in the blistering hot sun escorting our children from ride to ride. This was Kenny's second year at Whoop-Up Days so he was a pro. He just wasn't big enough to go on all the rides he wanted to. Next year he can be more adventurous.

This was essentially Alex's first year. Last year he went on the Merry-Go-Round and spent the whole time trying to squirm off of Grampa's lap. The year we gave it a try again.

He spent the first three rounds screaming for me to come and get him off. When mike finally got him to calm down he enjoyed the ride.


His enjoyment was hit and miss. One ride had to be stopped for him to get off and one was spent on Mommy's lap. He had a fun day.

Hannah had a horrible day. This is how I found out that she had woken up from her nap.

She was good for the first hour after this and then screamed if we move the stroller with her in it. She fell asleep on the walk to the car after the fun was over. At least she didn't scream all the way home.




I suffered from a bit of heat exhaustion but everyone else did fine on this hot outing. The kids had fun, so did we, and we came home with some delicious fudge. Mmmm.
