Fun at the State Fair

My Dad is on the State Fair Board and gave us tickets in to the state fair, complete with a few ride passes. The kids had a blast with their cousins and we only lost Nathan a few times..

My sister, Corinne had fun with Nathan and Andrew on the rides, helping them not be too scared...







Addison wanted to ride this ride several times.

The military got Bradley doing pushups for a contest. He was the top winner that day (63 pushups from age 16 and down)

Mom and Dad went all around in this cart working the fair for 10 days- all day! What dedication to making the fair run!

How many cousins can fit in the golf cart?

Addy chompin' on a big turkey leg...yum!

Addy was scared to go on the Merry-Go-Round, but after a few seconds, she LOVED IT! This is me and my younger sister taking our little girls!

Silly kids!

We also got tickets to a concert that night (free). It was Michael Musso from Hannah Montana. The kids were excited.


But about 1/2way into the first song, we realized our "good seats" were really "bad seats", because we were too close to the speakers. It was LOUD! We sufferred through the noise for most of the concert and the screaming teenagers (and actually screaming little girls, too). Then when he stripped down to a tank top, then to no shirt, Sydney said, "That's just gross...I want to leave." So most of us left. Addison only made it through 1/2 of the first song, then cried because it was too loud. I'm not sure I could hear much the rest of the night. We all felt like we had cotton in our ears. Yikes!
