The Fair

It has taken me a few days to psych myself up for this post as the fair was a pretty huge dissapointment for us this year. I wanted to put in the title of this post "The Great Rip Off Scheme". You won't see any happy ride pictures this year after the boys had gotten totally psyched as it is unreal that they could think one should pay $30 per child (ages 2 and 4). Needless to say, no ride passes were purchased and 2 little boys were very sad.When you see the carnies and hear the lovely stories of them putting rides together and not knowing where all the pieces are supposed to end up it makes you wonder. We soon discovered that after the wonderful summer we had that the West Edmonton mall was cheaper for rides, water park and food. We are considering just heading to Lagoon next year and not even going to the fair. I always hear all the hype about going to the fair for the food and I just don't quite get it as everything is fried beyond the point of disgusting and also way overpriced. Once again I pass!

Now, on a brighter note, the boys did get to enjoy their annual treat of cotton candy. We checked out the petting zoo and Elton sat on many different tractors. The boy's favorite thing was the train hall. However, when it was all said and done, Caleb got heat exhaustion and spent the rest of the weekend with a headache and feeling dizzy. Sorry this post couldn't have been more positive!
