The Fair!

The Stanwood-Camano Fair was the perfect size for us. Small enough that we could get to everything without walking FOREVER! We looked at all the animals first. Sadly Q was more excited about all the balloons he saw around than seeing the animals in real life that we talk about all the time. So we got him one.

We made our way over to the carnival and were baffled by the ticket prices. But then we were pleasantly surprised with the carnival workers. Because Q was so little they only made us pay for one of us to get on each of the kiddie rides. PLUS the slide guy let us to two or three times each time! It was a blast!

This Merry-go-round was MUCH faster than the one at the zoo. And once is never enough!
This slide was awesome. I'm sure I did it when I was a kid, but I don't remember. I was hollering all the way down, poor Q. You can see his balloon poking into the picture!He loved it so much that he'd immediately get back up and start heading for the stairs to do it again. Luckily he wasn't disappointed since the man let us go again.
Next stop was the Jalopy Junction. Q got to turn the steering wheel as we bumped around the little track.
Since we had extra tickets left over because they only made us pay for one instead of two, we got to do a few more rides again. This time Daddy took Q down the slide. And they let them go twice again!
And I did the Merry-go-round this time. Is it just me, or does it look like the outer horses are leaning out? Perhaps that's why I felt like we were going to fall out!
I so badly wanted Q to go on the real pony ride that Daddy said yes. It was a lot bumpier than the merry-go-round. After going around a few times with him he looked comfortable enough to let go on his own.
