Louisiana State Fair 2010

Mason is addicted to the fair - ADDICTED I tell you! He has already asked this morning when he can go back and he'll continue asking ALL YEAR until the fair comes back!  We haven't had time to go and knew we had to get to the fair before the weekend since it's packing up on Sunday! Plus we can't stand the weekend crowds!

Conner was just tall enough to be able to ride the kiddie rides and he was very excited about that!  Of course, now that Conner can ride those rides Mason was bored with them!  Last year we made the mistake of doing exhibits and the zoo first and then didn't have time for many rides (and we listened to lots of whining about wanting to ride too!) and we weren't going to make that mistake twice. 

First stop, the carousel!  Conner instantly regrets his decision but by the end he is all smiles!


This ride was F-O-R-E-V-E-R long . . . I thought our kids would jump out they were so tired of being on it. Finally the operator quit talking and stopped the ride!


BTW, Mason was just at the doctor on Wednesday for an ear infection.  He was under strict instructions to keep his hood on at all times, that his why he seems a little incognito!

I get motion sick very very bad hence I don't ride anything at the fair.  Ryan had an arm band so he had to go on EVERYTHING with the kids, including this itty-bitty fun house slide - too funny!


However, some things he wanted to do not the kids! For instance, Mason wouldn't ride into the haunted house with him so he made Conner.  By the looks of Conner's face when he came out (not pictured!) he didn't want to go in there either!


This kiddie roller coaster was a deal breaker for Conner! We had to ask for it to be stopped because he was crying so hard - poor thing! After that he wouldn't ride anything!  


Conner's fear worked to Mason's advantage because then he got to ride big kid rides!  They rode this twice. I couldn't even watch this ride because it made my head hurt!


Conner's favorite part of the fair - large Coke! That's my boy!


My favorite part of the fair - stupid people!  Please pay close attention to the spelling of "knifes," "ect.," and "responceable." 


The boys trying to find their way out of the giant wave!


Conner & Mason both enjoyed the "big, big, big slide!"


No trip to the fair is complete without Malone's State Fair Taffy and after we got ours it was time to head home!! In the parking lot I made Ryan take my picture because I am never in any of our fair pictures and now I know why!!


LOVE MY BOYS!
