Fair 2011

Well, Northwest Florida's Fair in Fort Walton Beach is not much to write {home} about, but I'll do it anyways. It makes Griffin GA's fair look like the Perry Fair. And the corn dogs? Got nothin' on Kiwanis' Corn Dogs at the Griffin Fair, even though they were a foot long. Funny to think we have been "spoiled" with Griffin's Fair. Hah! Either way, I'm glad we went and took Amelia. She jumped in the jumping bean, slid down a slide and watched us play games. She is kind of a chicken like her momma, and would not be down with riding the kiddie rides without someone holding her hand. Since I do not weigh less than 100 lbs I was not allowed to ride rides with her. What parents do weigh under 100 lbs???

 

Uncle Bo came with us though and that is always a treat! Amelia loves her Uncle Bo. They slid down the huge slide together, and while we expected Amelia to freak out she was all smiles!

Gi won Amelia a Kung Fu Panda by popping balloons & I won her an alligator at the Rusty the Rat table! Just what we need around here - more stuffed animals!

 {Rose was the lucky winner!}

Lastly, we visited the animals they had there. Which consisted of a turkey who made me dream of Thanksgiving dinner, scary chickens/roosters and some rabbits. All in cages. Not very impressive! Amelia's "bwak"ing like a chicken {the whole way home} was way more impressive.

To sum it up, the food was ehh, the rides a little rickety, family time was good, but Amelia was lonely. She needs Poppy to hurry up and get here and grow up a little so they can jump in the jumping bean together.

Off to the craft store to buy some felt so Auntie M {the best Auntie ever} can make Amelia a hat for her costume since her hat doesn't fit her big ol' head. Bless her heart, bad genes.

Happy Wednesday!
