Thursday Fears, Fair and Fun...day 4 of our vacation

This is Cailin.

We went to the Salem Fair on the Fourth of July, or Independence Day. It was really fun. I went to the Pulaski County Fair a few years ago with a friend, and this one was a lot better. It had what seemed like a million more rides than were at the Pulaski County Fair.  

There were a lot of rides that I wanted to go on but their lines were WAY too long. But I went on a roller coaster. It was really fun. It wasn't a big roller coaster, but it was big enough for me to know what a roller coaster is like. There was also another one that was smaller that Delaney went on that I went on with her. It was really tiny, but Delaney liked it. I did, too. But...it was really small, so it wasn't that amazing. 

There were lots of really cool rides. I got an ice cream cone. It tasted like the one dollar ice cream cones from McDonalds, and it wasn't much bigger. And it was three times as much.

However, it was fair food and fair food does cost a lot.  

Mom took this picture from one of the two Ferris wheels. She forgot that Brianne hates elevators and took her on, too.  How would a Ferris wheel be any different? Brianne was crying entire time, not to mention that it was raining the whole time we were on the ride. 

We went to the Pancake Breakfast at the church. It was raining, so it took place inside.

After that, we went to Goodwill to look for pants for me for Girl's Camp, because I only had two pairs of pants. Liam found a crazy hat.

Brianne is happy.

She tries the hat out.

This was one of the rides at the fair that Liam went on. He really liked it, I think.

This was one of the Ferris wheels.

In that one is Delaney and Dad.  Delaney didn't want to get on any of the rides at first.  She was quite scared.  However, Dad convinced her to try this one with him.  If she didn't like it, she didn't have to go on any more.  She LOVED it.  She was giddy with excitement and tried many other types of rides.  I guess she overcame her fear of carnival rides.

Another Liam ride.

Dad and Connor got turkey legs. 

Connor here:   The above pictures shows my favorite part of the fair. In other words, I did not enjoy it, nor do I intend to go to another one anytime soon. If you want my opinion of the fair, it was seven hours of my life I'll never get back. 

There were these things all over the place.

This was the ride that Delaney and I went on. The little roller coaster. 

The blue one in the background was the one that I went on. 

Big bag of popcorn.  Mmmmmm, kettle corn, this whole bag cost $8.00, a steal when you consider the cost of other fair foods.

Teacup ride.

...I was blinking. Waiting in line to get on the ride.

There were racing pigs. I didn't get to see them, but Connor said they were cool.

And also, Connor didn't like the Fair. He thought it was too long. At least, I think that was what he didn't like about it.

Look at those stormy clouds!

My hair is all messy because it poured down rain when we were there.
