The county fair

Last weekend, the company that Paul works for had their company picnic at the county fair. They served a great lunch and than all seven of us had wristbands for unlimited rides at the fair. It was crazy! There is nothing like the “gravitron” to make you feel your age. I used to love that ride when I was a teenager, and Jamahl went on it al least 8 times, but the one time I joined him I thought I was going to loose my lunch! The kids all love the rides, especially Keyan. There is not a ride too fast, too high, too spinning, or too much of a drop for her. She puts her hands in the air and just laughs through the whole thing! It was a lot of fun to watch them all trying new things. In the middle of the day, a Hanna Montana impersonator gave a concert and our girls were in their glory. They had no idea that she wasn’t the real thing and when McKenzy said her face looked a little different, Jamahl told her she was just trying out some new things with her hair and make-up. What a great big brother not to tell the secret. Finally, after eight hours of rides, animals, fair food, concerts, and more rides, we called it a day. The kids were all crying about that fact that we had to leave! I think they would have ridden rides until the carnival closed…what a fun, full, family day.
