Living in the pseudo-country like we do, the county fair is a big deal. Pretty much the entire town shuts down and the businesses on Main Street have signs above their closed signs that read, “See you at the fair!” So, needless to say, when the fair is open, we are there. The kids love it and each year they are so excited to see what rides they are tall enough for now… (Note to self: call the chiropractor after riding the Orient Express.)
I thought I would share some fun pictures of the 2014 County Fair…
One of the kids’ favorite rides is the “spinning strawberries”
This year, they got them spinning so fast I thought I was going to die.
Mo excited about the carousel
Bo hamming it up for the camera
Waiting patiently in line for the Dizzy Dragons. (Well, at least for as long as it took to take this picture.)
Do you have a county fair where you live? Do you go with your family to ride the rides and partake in all the fried food?

Julia wants to live in a world where Hogwarts is real, dark chocolate is packaged with good books, and houses clean themselves. Until then, she is the divorced mom of twins, blogger, sometimes crafter, traveler, napper, cooker, snail mailer, geocacher, and corporate bean counter.
I love those kids!
Going out an a limb here and guessing I get nominated to ride the guitar looking drop ride when Mo is tall enough.
I have a friend who, when his kids were young, took the whole family on a tour of state fairs one summer. Those kids still talk about the trip!
How fun! Our county fair was last week. We didn’t make it, that was also my first week back to work and most evenings I crashed! 🙂
