Trip to the State Fair

We went to the Duqoin State Fair this last weekend with 3 of our grandchildren. It was the first time I have been to the fair so I was as excited as the kids were about going. We had the most beautiful weather that day. It wasn't too hot, and there was a nice breeze. Our oldest granddaughter, Chloe and our grandson, Reese love ti ride the rides and they did. Michaela, our middle grandchild prefers to play games but her sister talked her into going on a fun house type thing. Against our better judgement, we gave our approval  so off they went. At first, everything was all right.They climbed up the wall and were having a good time but then they started across the wooden swing bridge and that was Michaelas downfall. She got upset and started crying. There wasn't anything we could do but keep telling her it was okay and to keep moving to the end of the bridge. Chloe, always the drama queen, was yelling at the top of her lungs to come help get her sister off that crazy thing!  They finally made it off the ride or whatever it was and were all smiles then. That was the end of the rides for Miss Michaela, but the other two grand kids were still raring to go.  I rode one ride with Chloe, I think it was the Spider. That was a mistake. I didn't throw up but that was only because there wasn't anything in my stomach. That was the end of riding for me. I hung out with Michaela the rest of the day. Reese, our grandson, is only five but he has no fear of anything. The only reason he didn't get to ride all the rides is because he wasn't tall enough. He wanted to go on everything, and I do mean everything! We finally had to end all the riding. There was still a lot of things to go see, but the kids wanted to eat. I don't know what it is about fair food that can make cheese on a stick sound good , but it does. The smells of all those food stands is intoxicating!  And why wouldn't you eat cotton candy with a lemon shake-up and cheese on a stick with a hot dog and pickle on a stick all at the same time? Just be sure to save room for ice cream. We did!
