Ionia Free Fair

We went to the fair last week. The kids had a lot of fun riding the rides. We were able to get the "ride all day" tickets, before the fair started, at a discounted price. Tanner started out a bit timid, but soon was wanting to ride everything. He loved the race cars, the mini-roller coaster and the ferris wheel, but I think his all time favorite was the scrambler. Papa took some pictures of him on it, but he is so tiny, all you see is the top of a little blonde head! Brenton was an old pro at the rides. He wanted to ride everything, he even went on the big roller coaster with Jim and I. We ended up staying until 11:00 pm and Brenton could have kept going! He loved racing us down the big slide. He really got into the games this year. He played the dart game twice and won a stuffed animal both times! We walked through the animal barns. Tanner was not very happy about that, especially when it turned out to be feeding time as we were walking by the hogs. They were so loud (and stinky)!!! Brinlee really enjoyed the animals. I wasn't aware she could make so many animal sounds! We ended up having so much fun, Yaya, the kids and I went back the next night again (Daddy had an evening appointment). Papa was taking pictures at the meat sale so we watched a bit of that, ate some more junk food and let the boys play at the arcade. Tanner was in love with the crane game that gave out candy. Go figure!
