At the Fair!

Oh, the Cabarrus County Fair. Good times. I have such fond memories of it as a child. Then it got kinda boring in high school & college. It's now fun again, because I've got a kid now to take. Kids give the fair a whole new meaning. (We realize just how expensive it all is!) Nah, really, we made some good family memories Monday night.

Michael Dean's favorite part about the rides was the waving :)

Loved the roller coaster, until daddy squished him on a turn. But, then he loved it again!

Man, those animals can eat...and MD was having tons 'o fun...

...Until he spotted the apple trees. What a great thing for the kiddos!

Oh, and the tractors. A little boy's dream, right? (His buddy Aron loved it too)

Seriously. Have you seen any other boys more handsome than these 5? (From L to R - Alex, Abe, Aden, Aron, Michael Dean. Hmm, which name doesn't fit?)

Our good buddies, and parents of 4 of the 5 handsome boys above, Megan and Richard. Oh, and Donnie and me too...

Big boy play time.

Riding the big caterpillar with his cousins, Holden and Sawyer. Thanks, Uncle Bobby, for the bracelet. MD got like an hour more of fun that night than he would have had with his boring, 'ole parents.

"Mommy, go fast!"

We have yet to visit the Cab. Co. Fair at it's new location. After seeing your pictures, I think it's time to. I never really cared for the old fairgrounds, but it looks so much nicer at the Arena.

It really is nicer. The rides, games, animals, 4H exhibits. The only thing still nasty are the carnies! I'm sure Evan would love it...
