Fall is coming, and as you know that can only mean one thing... The County Fair! We have only been to the fair once when Ryenn was 1 year old. We looked at pigs and other animals, but we were unable to ride anything. We missed her second fair season when we went to visit Bob and Mariah in Texas.
This year we were excited, but also a bit nervous about the experience. Ryenn is not very brave. She doesn't like to be tossed into the air, or swung very high. I was scared that we were going to get in line, wait forever, then she was going to back out.
The carousel is very tame, and she has ridden one before, in other words....instant success! Then, we made our way to the Dragon Train. (you know what i am talking about, the rides they have are the same, ancient rides that queen elizabeth rode) Here is the scene:
John and Ryenn wait in line. I see the fear creep into her face. (i take a picture, i couldn't help it) She hands the Carney her ticket. Walks up to the dragon, climbs into the seat, and turns around demanding to get off! The Carney let her pick the color of ticket she got back. (that was cute, some of the other guys were seriously jerks about it) John tells me, she could see the floor and the tracks and panicked!
Okay, so we try a few more things....the little fun houses with the mirrors/obstacle courses. Then she decided to ride the spinning Bears. I got a few pictures of her in the bear, but then she wants to get off of those. (this carney was the rudest) Ryenn is starting to lose even more of her bravery during this time. SO we decided to put her on a cute little princess train. The line was full of little girls just like her. She had a fabulous time, and even got to ride in the front. She rang the little bell and pretended to steer. It was cute.
Then we looked at the animals for a bit, but she didn't enjoy that. She said that they were smelly, and she wanted to go back to the fair. The last ride we got on was the Speed Racer. I thought that she was going to be afraid, but the look of pure joy on her face was worth the entire trip! She rode it twice.
These pictures are just for your amusement! Hope you like them. The PJ's glow in the dark so of course Ryenn thought they were a must have!
