We might be clinically insane, but, we went to Valley Fair all day yesterday, then got up this morning and headed to the MN State Fair with about 200,000 other people.
Valley Fair highlights:
*The general excitement exhibited by the munchkins about EVERYTHING at the park
*Seeing Lilah ride on her first real rollercoaster
*A conversation between Gavin and Uncle Joe just after the Octopus ride-
J- Did that make your stomache feel weird?
G- No, but it made my private parts feel weird!
J (trying not to laugh)- Oh, why's that?
J (trying not to laugh)- Oh, why's that?
G- That's because I was holding them.
*Emma getting totally soaked on The Flume a.k.a. the log ride
*Daddy helping Gavin win a stuffed wolf (or maybe this is a lowlight!) with his quick draw McGraw water gun shooting skills
*Riding on the Sky Scraper ride with Hannah- it's much crazier than the picture shows
The kids had a blast. Everyone got along splendidly, and there was almost no whining. The day only started to unravel for Gavin at the very end of our adventure. He really wanted to try to win a stuffed animal with the giant claw. He became very distraught. He already played a game and won the stuffed wolf. I missed this whole tantrum, but Mike felt the full force of it. Gavin is a very persistent boy. He also became upset at the close of the park. He was promised a ride on the Ferris Wheel, but by the time they all got to the ride, it was closed! As you can imagine, this did not sit well with the boy.
