Friday night we decided to go to the state fair as a family. From 12-6 they have happy hour where the rides are $1 and some food is only a buck. We got there about 4:30 and let the boys pick three rides they wanted to go on.
The first ride they chose was the "elephant ride!"
After the elephant ride, they wanted to go on the big boat. Poor Kyson was not tall enough so he couldn't go. (He actually wasn't tall enough for the other two but no one said anything so we let him go:)
The last ride was the Goliath slide! I was proud of Caleb for going all by himself!
After the rides we ate some greasy food (is there ANYTHING at the fair that isn't deep fried?) and then we headed to get seats for the demolition derby. We found seats and then had to wait 50 minutes for it to start. That was a LONG 50 minutes for our boys. We sang songs, played I Spy, and whatever else we could come up with:)
Once it finally started they were so excited! It made me laugh when this car completely lost it's wheel and the tractor just came and picked it up and hauled it away with the driver still inside!
Here's the line up of cars...all about to be smashed to pieces...
And the winner of the night was this orange car. The only car still able to move in the end.
All in all we had a fun time together. We are so grateful AGAIN to hopekids for the free entrance passes. It's good to be able to spend time together as a family.

That looks sooo fun! My boys would go crazy at a demolition derby :)
Totally forgot to ask you how this went during our walk. Looks like you had fun. I'm impressed Caleb rode the slide. I've gone on a slide like that and I thought it was pretty fast and I was 21 at the time! :)
