Liam's First Fair Experience

Liam got to experience the Coffee County Fair for the first time this year.  Mine and Ryan's schedules are so mixed up that there wasn't a night where we could both be able to take him.  Thursday night my mom and I took Liam to the fair.  We started out by eating some good fair food.  For some reason I love ball park pizza so I every year I have to find a booth with ball park pizza.  Liam ate my french fries.  After we ate, I spent a fortune on tickets.  When did fair tickets become so expensive?  I knew that there wouldn't be alot for him to ride so I only bought $20 worth, which was only 24 tickets.  Needless to say we only used 8 of them.  What a waste!  The first ride we rode was the train.  It took everything I had to squeeze into that little train car LOL!  But he loved every minute of it!

As we walked around we saw Auntie Holly and Grant.  Auntie Holly gave me my first taste of cotton candy! I think he was a fan!

We ended our fair trip with a ride on the carousel.  It was hard to tell how much he like it.  He sat on the horse for a little while and then he wanted in my arms so we sat down in one of the chairs.

I really wanted Ryan to be involved with his first fair experience so on Saturday afternoon Ryan got up and we went to eat lunch there.  We went to the Methodist booth and had some of their yummy chili and grilled cheese (which Liam ate too.) They have some of the best desserts ever, so I had fudge pie and Ryan had pecan pie.  After we ate we went to the petting zoo to look at the animals.  We looked at the pigs, goats, cows, bunnies and all the different types of birds.  He seemed to enjoy it!  We wanted to ride rides but the fair rides didn't open until 3pm!  So we weren't able to use the rest of those $20 tickets.  UGH! The fair definitely isn't what it was when I was growing up.  I hope that he enjoys the fair like I used to as a kid!
