Making Memories



We went to the Clark County fair yesterday. We arrived at about 10:45am. First things first eat some fair food before the lines were long and while there were plenty of tables to sit at. Dominick had some Pad Thai noodles with chicken, I had Green Curry with rice, Trinity had a hand dipped corndog and Nicholas had lemonade (he didn't want food). Good stuff.

When we finished eating the ticket booth's were open. We all got a bracelet and started the rides. Trinity couldn't go on all the rides she wanted to but she went on all the ones she could several times. Trinity was about an inch too short to go on the rides that were the next step up. Next year she will be plenty tall enough.

Nicholas was weary about some of the rides but by the end of all the rides he had a big smile on his face. Nicholas even went on the tilt a whirl with Trinity and I. He loved it.

We took a break and watched the Demolition Derby. The Demolition Derby may have been Nicholas' favorite part of the whole day. I am not sure I would want to be one of the drivers but it was fun to watch. Trinity picked which one was going to win the second round and she was right.

Nicholas was so tired and worn out by 4pm. I ended up having to to carry him part of the way back to the car. He fell asleep while I was carrying him. Dominick and Trinity stayed to play some more. At about 6:30pm they took the bus from the fair to the transit center not too far from our house where I picked them up.

We were all pretty worn out from the day. We all went to bed at about 9pm and slept till about 8:30am. It was fun and I am glad that it's just once a year.
