We chose not to go to the Western fair this year for a lot of reasons, but we wanted to take the kids to a nice, small town fair for some fun. We chose the Dorchester fair, and fun it was. We got there just as the parade was ending, and the firefighters were just setting up a table with all kinds of giveaways. Both kids got these super cute fire chief hats (Ashton's co-ordinated with his outfit) and Mommy couldn't help but try one on.
These were Eleda's first rides other than the little rides in malls, and she was thrilled. The merry-go-round was her favourite. She wanted to sit in the stationary elephant the first go 'round.
Daddy went with her the first time on the merry-go-round, and this firetruck ride she went on all by herself. I was nervous that she would be scared...
...but she loved every minute. You can almost hear her making the siren sound "wee oooh, weee ooh"
Ashton had fun too :)
This was the "game" where mommy & daddy pay $5, Eleda stands at the stream and catches fish in a bucket, and you "win" a prize lol. I was totally worth it, she loves this silly inflatable monkey.
I'm having some gallbladder issues, so I'm supposed to seriously limit ALL fat consumption, but a candy apple was a treat we could all share :)
The second go on the merry-go-round. Eleda wanted to go on by herself, and she wanted to ride on the moving zebra. I got her situated, and as the ride was getting loaded she got scared. A nice mom who was already on the ride with her kids stood close to Eleda and reassured her. Thanks, stranger mom!
We didn't win anything, but this was SO much fun. I'd never played before, but definitely will again!
And finally a shot of Mr. Blue Eyes to finish off the day.

Looks like you guys had lots of fun! We had wished to go to the fair that weekend too, but Sophia was way to sick :(
Ashtons blues eyes are so stunning!
