Fair

Sara on one of the "boring" rides as she said. Its the one that goes up and then drops really fast. Eric starting off on an easy ride.
We went to the fair this year. Kids all got bracelets so they could ride, ride, ride. It was a cooler day so jackets were needed. But the day still was great. Eric and Sara were finally both tall enough to go on EVERY ride, and they did go on every ride. The two older kids are thrill seekers. They must get this from Casey. Jada, however, is cautious like me. Here's just a few pictures of the day. (I followed Jada around and Casey followed Eric and Sara, so most pictures are from Jada since I had the camera.) Casey did join the kids on most of the rides as well, or until his tummy was so sick he needed a break.


Eric and Sara did the ring of fire. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Sara just skimmed her way on, and the guy had told Eric to put his arm around Sara to help hold her in. Well, Sara barely was big enough to be held in. When she got off, she was shaken up for about 20 minutes. But back she went to do all the other rides.



Eric and Sara are the two with their hands in the air. I am still in amazement that they did all these rides. And it wasnt like they went once, no it was over and over again from 2pm till 1030pm. And we had to force them to stop for 1/2 hour to eat.



Here Jada is riding with some friends from Gull Lake, Jalayna and Dayne. She had a lot of fun.



These horses where a highlight for Jada. We went on several times. At around 530pm, Jada went home with Grandma & Grandpa Welk to have her summer time by herself with them on the farm. She is growing up so fast. She went along and stayed for 4 days and didnt have one complaint. Good job Jada. (It was kind of nice to have her gone, that way we could stay till after dark with Eric & Sara and let them see and enjoy the rides in the dark. They especially enjoyed that)
