We got bit by the fair bug… and went to the Clay County Fair twice in one week!
Our children have inherited their father’s adventurous spirit when it comes to rides (and those that also acquired my weak stomach are able to overcome it with motion sickness meds ;) Here they are ready to ride on the swings!
There they go!
Paul, Jenna, Kara, Luke, Evan, & Ryan
Some of them even opted for a 2nd round!
Heading down the big slide! Even Mary got in on this one… on Dad’s lap. ;)
The pirate ship! Evan & Luke in the back,
Jenna, Kara & Ryan in front.
Mom & Mary on the carousel ;)
Of course we had to check out the New Holland equipment while we were there!
This was quite the combine… with a price tag of over half a million dollars!
Those were some big wheels!
In the mirror maze

We headed back a week later for a date night…
to the same place Erin’s parents went on their first date!
Checking out Julie’s Diner
(The hot beef sundae was delicious! :)
We couldn’t resist the caricature booth, and boy did we get a good chuckle out of the end result! :)
