The fair in my little town is by far the biggest week of the year. people come from all over to attend this fair. Alot of people travel home to be here during the week of the fair. Our town is only 1300 people but we are told by numerous neighboring large towns that we have the best littlest fair ever. This time is always much more than just a "fair" i grew up going to the fair every single night and spending all the time with the family that was in town. obviously Bella is going to grow up the same way its all about volunteering and being there between 11am-10pm. It is just so fun and defiantly a tradition. This year was no exception we had cousins come in from STL and i was off work Wednesday,Thursday,Friday to spend lots of quality family time.
1. Friends at the fair. 2. Lunch the best Mexican restaurant in
Illinois. 3. Bargain shopping at gymboree outlet. 4. Fair rides. 5. more
fair rides. 6. Best friend Tripp. 7. Watching tractor pulls with her
papa.
Thursday of the fair is usually nothing special so we ALWAYS go to Chicago! We normally go shopping and to Michigan avenue but we decided to go a different route and do shedds aquarium. it was a perfect day for it. we left home around 8am and drove an hour to get on the metra train. this was bellas second ride on the metra but because she is all about trains right now it was even more fun for her. we spent all day the aquarium and didn't head home until 6pm. when we did head up the walk back to the trains station the two little girls passed out!
Friday night of the fair there is a great local band that plays so while Bella was at her dads i enjoyed some time with my besies from highschool. Saturday we took the girls to see and ride some horses. Saturday night the main even of the fair is the demolition derby. Bella wasnt so sure of them so i took her and my cousin sydney back to the midway to ride rides and play games. Sunday morning was the last day of fun with the cuosins and everyone was getting ready to go back to normal :(
1. Best friends from high school. 2. Listening to a great band. 3. family time. 4. Bella riding a horse. 5. not so sure about this demo derby stuff. 6.Lots of rides with cousin Sydney. 7. Final cuddles and the end to 5 days of sleepovers with her favorite cousins.
It was such a wonderful week and so many memories were made but we were so sad to see the weekend come to an end. Lucky for us it was only another 4 day weekend before a big trip to STL!!
