It had been a very long time since I had been to the county fair. So, when it came to town this summer I jumped on the opportunity to take the kids. Oh boy did we have fun. We spent lots of money and only a couple of hours. We rode the medium sized ferris wheel, went through the lousy fun house (a couple of warped mirrors, a noisy step, and some ropes to walk through-boring!). The best part was the bumper cars, we rode on them twice. The worst part was the tilt-a-whirl. I'd sworn off of them years ago, but I was foolish enough to get back on. All three kids and I piled into one car and the controller proceeded to spin us so fast that poor little Ellie couldn't even move her head. We won't go back next year, but at least the kids have had a chance to experience a fair, every kid should.
