For Easter, we were originally planning on visiting my parents in Bellevue. However, the day before we were suppose to leave, they all ended up getting really bad colds. Since my kids had been cold-free for about a month, I did not want to have them around a bunch of sickies, so we decided to stay home. As luck would have it, Weston ended up with a horrible cold regardless...should have known it was inevitable. Anyway, I think our decision to stay home ended up being a good one. My parents and sister's family didn't have to worry about us while they were sick, and since we didn't go we were able to go to the Grant County Spring Fair. It was so much fun! The best part about it was seeing how much fun Kallen had on all the rides. Plus, the other great thing about this fair was that it was crowd-free. We never had to wait in line once! This was probably due to the cold weather and winds, but hey, it was totally worth it.
Kallen loved the "horsey ride" and probably went on it 10 times. He actually went on most rides about 10 times, so we got our money's worth. I love his happy little face in this picture.
Kallen was also super brave and went on some bigger kid rides like the roller coaster and a ride called the Octopus. I must admit, I was fine going on every ride with him except for the Octopus. It freaked me out, but Kallen absolutely loved it! In fact, as soon as our little cart started spinning and going up and down, he started screaming with joy at the top of his lungs. The ride operator actually stopped the ride half-way through to see if he was okay and I assured him that he was fine and loving every moment of it. Kallen wanted to go back on it again later that day, but I quickly turned him down. He might have loved it but I on the other hand did not, so we did not go back for a second time.
Kallen's favorite ride by far was the giant slide. He thought it was the greatest and the lady who operated it always laughed at how many times the little guy went up and down on it.
Kallen loved everything about the fair and still talks about it. Can you tell from all the big smiles in these pictures?
Weston was such a little trouper while we were there. He had a cold and was probably not feeling good, but he was happy the whole time. Next year, it will be fun to take him on some of the rides too.
Oh, I almost forgot. The fair also had some animals there. Kallen loved the pigs the most, but we also got to see some cows and sheep. The fair was so much fun and I'm glad we got to go. They have another one here in August, so I'm sure we will definitely be going back for it. Kallen is already counting down the days.
