the fair

The boys were out of school yesterday so we decided to spend the afternoon at the State Fair.  It was Cale's first time to go (actually he's been before but he was still in my tummy!).  It has been 7 years since we've been so the boys had no memories of our last visit.  Why has it been so long?  Darren HATES the fair and I hate spending money on things like the fair.  BUT, this year the boys really wanted to go and I wanted them to have the experience of going.  I thought I'd do Darren a favor and just take the boys, but to my surprise he asked me to wait until he could go with us. We had a lot of fun and I'm so glad we went, but I think we were all ready to leave after several hours.  I took a few pics with my phone and they are all blurry, but I want to remember this day....it may be seven more years before we go again :)

Cale didn't like the smell in the children's building (where there are lots of animals to pet) 

He held his nose nearly the ENTIRE time we were in there!

Cale's only request was that he could get cotton candy.  He was a happy boy!
