We headed to the State Fair over Labor Day weekend. It turned out to be a great day to go to the fair...breezy, sunny, and 70 degrees! Cale and Keegyn really enjoyed themselves this year...and both were EXTREMELY well behaved! Jason and I were actually amazed and almost wondered "whose kids are these?" Although most of our day was spent amusing Cale and doing what HE wanted to do, we still were able to have a great day together as a family!
Here was Keegyn, checking out Daddy's stain job on the deck before we headed out for the day!
Our first (and last) stop at the Fair was the big construction trucks that Cale just HAD to try. This big excacvator was his absolute favorite and he didn't really want to hand it over to anyone else. He did really well working all the gadgets and levers, but seemed somewhat disappointed that they didn't actually do anything when he moved the gadgets and levers. He said "they must be broken or somethin."
Cale must have learned this from Grandpa B!
Cale and Daddy sharing the foot long corn dog!
Cale seemed to only be eating the breading, but I wasn't gonna win that fight, so I didn't even try!
Keegyn, enjoying her mid afternoon snack! (and, yes, she is FINALLY holding the dang bottle by herself! Only took her 9 months to figure it out!)
Cale LOVED the rides this year...he could have spent the entire day just riding rides, but man oh man....those rides are expensive! Poor Cale had been wanting to go on the ferris wheel...had been talking about it for a week. So, of course, I'm like, sure, we'll go on the ferris wheel. Until we get up to the line and they said it was 12 stinking tickets!!! COME ON!!! So, I took my tickets back from the guy running the ride (who looked at me like I was nuts) and had to explain to Cale that if we went on there we wouldn't be able to go on any more rides. So what Cale concluded was "it's too expensive, Mom?" And, um, yes! It WAS!!!

So, the cars was Cale's first fair ride...and he had a blast! Poor Jason could barely squeeze himself into that dang car, but Cale didn't want to have to ride with another little boy (wonder who he gets that from...and god forbid he makes friends with someone!) so that left Jason to be man number two!
Hold on to your hats....that corner is fast!!!
Cale has now found a new "favorite fair find"---Cotton Candy! With Smore's marking a close second!

Ride #2Fourwheelers. Not cracking a smile...I actually think he was a bit bored with this one...didn't really go very fast. Had he not just gotten off of the whipping cars, I think he would have thought this one was much more enjoyable!
Me and Keegyn, hanging out while Daddy and Cale enjoy the rides
Cale's first roller coaster ride was a HUGE success! He loved it so much! You can see him and Jason in the back of the roller coaster...Cale smiling from ear to ear!
Getting braver....no hands!!!!
Motorcycles...just like Grandpa B's
Keegyn had a very important job...to make sure Cale's cotton candy did not fall off the stroller. She did very well!
But that was hard work!!!
Our last stop....seven hours later....the construction trucks.
