State Fair 2010

State Fair here we come! On Sunday, we headed out to the State Fair. Our plan was to be there right when they opened at 10:00, but this crazy girl slept until 8:30! (Someone obviously knew that we were all EXHAUSTED from the previous week.) The traffic was a little crazy, taking us an hour to get to the fair and almost 25 minutes to park. Oh well, we made it in and had a wonderful time!Ro and I got the awesome Fletcher's corn dog and funnel cake that we went for, Laela got to see the dog show, and we all had fun walking around enjoying the people-watching! (If I don't watch that girl, she will run right into a wall because she is watching what others are doing. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE GETS THAT FROM.) HA! Anyway, Laela did enjoy a few rides. We started out easy with the little whales spinning around in the circle of water. Then we bumped it up to the "Ladybug" ride. We happen to walk past and stop to watch. Then Laela said she wanted to go on it, so Ro took her. It was fast! She did not look so hot during the actual ride, but she said she liked it!

Then a little more relaxing with the swings.

Finishing out our rides with the worst of all. We were walking back out and we walked past this house with a cool roller coaster. She said she wanted to go and the people coming out were laughing and happy. OH MY! Not Laela's case...she was literally trembling when she came out. Ro looked a little spooked too! I was seriously worried that Laela would have nightmares, but she didn't. Here they are coming out of one of the doors and then getting ready to head back in. Poor baby. She is holding on to her daddy! Oh! I almost forgot! Oh course we had to play a game, so Laela chose duck picking. She ended up winning this cool bouncy, purple ball. Laela is still playing with it tonight. One of the favorite parts of Laela's day (besides skipping naptime which we have not done but maybe twice in her life) was riding the "train". Okay, okay. It was really a tram, but Laela called it a train and we went with it! Whatever makes the girl happy! Ahhhhh...our day was successful! Much needed fun for the Murthy family!
