State Fair Time!

We hit the fair last Friday afternoon/ evening. It was awesome. Blake had taken Asher last year on the first Friday night of the fair and he said it was a great time to go. It really was! We got a babysitter for Judah and Maddox (thank you Kelsey!) and took the three big boys! It was SO nice not having a stroller!
This was at the end of the night at Village of Yesteryear with their new buddies
Pigging out... pretty much right when we got there... pizza for the boys and Blake and I both had a steak sandwich... after the roasted ear of corn for me :) We of course got a funnel cake later and Blake had to have his annual fried twinkie (gross!)
Blake trying to win an angry bird at the slingshot game
He was 0 for 3....
Caleb getting a pep talk before taking his turn at it...
He loved it... but didn't hit anything either....
The prize (that was not to be) Funny that Asher was the only one I didn't get a picture of playing this game and he actually HIT one.... of course you had to hit all three times to win an angry bird, but Ash was just as happy with his little dog that he won.
Okay these next few balloon pictures are somewhat of a progression... in this first one you can see how happy and excited all three boys were
Going around and up.....
And as the balloon went up.... Caleb went down.... he's a bit skittish on rides.... Blake and I were dying! Everytime they came around you would see Nate sitting up tall with a huge grin on his face, Asher with a look that said "What is he doing", and all you could see of Caleb was his little head barely peeking over the edge! When he got off the ride, he said, "Whew, I thought that only went around and around, I didn't know that it went up!" Hilarious!
I went on the teacups with A and C
Asher on the jump thingy
Trying so hard to flip (didn't happen...)
Nate getting ready to throw some darts at the balloon pop game
The Smurf that was won (well... paid for!)
The roller coaster that Nate and Caleb went on... in typical fashion as soon as it started moving, Nate's hands went up and Caleb ducked down :)

Looks like you all had such a fun time! I definitely think the fair is much more fun now with kids than it ever was when I was younger. Love Nate's haircut! Of course, I knew all about it before I saw it because Eva still gives me a full report after Awana, and Nate is one of her favorite topics :) Haha!

what a blast! I know that is a fun event that you and your boys look forward to each year. Love how they are all coordinated in the Bama gear too!
