My favorite Fair memories start back in college when we would go at least one night while it was in town. We rode rides, ate food, and acted a fool. I know for a fact that my body was not in decline then as I rode the same ride yesterday and woke up with a stiff neck. Joints and discs ain't what they used to be. Mammaw Megs will survive. ANYWAY, those nights with those girls are some of my most favorite memories.
Then, I made Anderson take me to the Fair when we were dating and married. Every time he would inform me that we could go on such an awesome date for the same money we spent on chicken-on-a-stick and funnel cake, but I would never change my mind. I am a carnie in spirit.
Last year was Beau's first time at the Fair, and I know that he will grow up loving it. We even got to take sweet baby Caroline last year. Because the Fair should be experienced by all.
This year Beau rode his first rides. And one was successful! Beau's most favorite part of the Fair was the petting zoo. And I can't say I blame him. I love that part too. And the pig races. I hope he grows up loving the Fair with his cousins and his Nana. Because they are the best. Nana and Aunt Bec even rode a ride with me. They get family members of the year! The laughs and squeals were worth it!
Yesterday was a great day at the Fair. Even though the temperature was close to the temperature of the surface of the sun. We played hard and the kids were awesome. Seeing the girls laughing, screaming, and having a ball made me so excited to watch Beau grow up each year at the Fair. I love having yearly traditions, for future comparison shots haha.
See ya next year!
