fair two remember
We went to the fair last year and had a great time. This year along with us was the oldest high school daughter, a perfect add to our outing. Despite incredible traffic we encountered on the way, long walks to the entrance and out again (without encountering trams), having been blessed by our benevolent friend once again, we had a eventful night at the fair.
We spent most of our time with rides, although we heard some karaoke singers (some who just shouldn't have sung). The young at heart went on roller coasters and things that go every which way but loose, flying (like hang gliding), slides, and such. The ace's son was a passenger as our daughter became speedlightninnnnnnnnnn in a go cart - pity the kid that tried to cut her off - and Jonathan drove the smaller cars thwarting the attempts to be passed as well.
The fair was extremely crowded (attesting to its success) - we were squeezing our way from here to there. I'm pretty sure that at the stroke of midnight our younger children turned into pumpkins; but they were troopers!
But trooper of the night for me was the husband who not only maneuvered through horrible traffic, anticipated bathroom requirements, and he (and the Ace too) walked all around with aching knee and were the money bags, was the event photographer (he didn't even end up in any of the pictures), and got us home in the shortest order imaginable!

If we make it next year - let me just say one thing ... train! It pulls right up to the fair - no traffic, no parking involved! Our jaunt didn't go as I envisioned; what does? Here's to family and friends! Oh what a night!
Ain't we got them - good times!
