Arkansas Sate Fair

We went to the Arkansas State fair the other day and had a BLAST!!! I knew Dorian was going to be close as to whether she was tall enough to ride any rides and well she was dead on. The lady measured her three times and she was 36 inches EXACTLY. Not a hair over or under...36 inches! The very nice woman told me she was tall enough to ride any ride she wanted to, and this honestly made me scared! ha ha ha

I was so afraid she was going to stand up on the rides, not like them, or be a crazy woman and try to exit the ride prematurely! Niles and I made a quick decision that as for this being a trial run to see how she is going to act, one of us needed to ride with her! Addeline was NOT loving the fair, so Niles took one for the team and sat in the giant pink teacups in my absence (he he he).

Dorian loved everything about the fair. She chugged lemonades, engulfed funnel cakes, and was thrilled to win a stuffed blue monkey! Some of the rides were okay and others made her a little nervous. She only cried on one ride, and it was the ride that made mommy think twice about eating more of her funnel cake! ha ha ha

And who knew that the Livestock exhibit would be so much fun when you have little kids! COWS were the highlight of the fair!!! We stayed so long in the barns I think we walked away smelling like big ole' cow! ha ha ha

Either way...expensive food, ridiculous rides, and smelly barn animals all equal happy kids! :)
