Fun at the Fair - now with VIDEO

Today was Noah's first fair experience. He had absolutely no idea what to expect. In fact, when we were talking about it, he thought we were talking about going on the ferry.

When we got there, he got excited. And pushy. And a bit weepy.

Especially when he saw the lines of equally excited (mostly older) kids at the rides. He wanted to ride all of them...even the ones with names like "tilt-a-hurl" or "instant fairground death."

This is when he found out he couldn't ride ALL of them RIGHT NOW.
















But after several earnest conversations, he realized he was cool with just watching. And, we finally did find a ride he (cautiously) enjoyed. Note that he was belted onto his carousel lion, and he INSISTED I hold on to him. Nervous smiles:



All told, he had an incredible time...from petting the baby pigs to doing some pigging out on his own: mango and cherry shave ice, and roasted corn. Yes, in that order.
