What a telling title. The County Fair is dirty, grimy, stinky, crowded and overpriced. So why go? The never ending supply of rides that turn you in circles, the greasy food, the loud noise, the stinky barns filled with filthy animals...Soooo, this year, Eric surprised me by coming home and stating he was leaving work early on thursday (we actually went on the 23rd...I am a little late on the story...) and we were going to go to the fair! May the heavens fall down!!! Is this really my husband?!?!? To understand the magnitude of this sacrifice you must realize that Eric does not like large crowds. He really, really hates the County Fair. God Bless him.
Originally Eric thought he was slick and tried to get me to take the boys during the day while he was at work but it never seemed to work out. Anyway, we braved the day...beautiful weather (not brutally hot like last year) and we were leaving by the time it became over crowded. Quinn loved it and was happy and content the entire time we were there. We took Isaiah's friend Landon with us and the two were happy as larks riding ride after ride after ride. Overall it was a pretty fantastic family day. Isaiah and I enjoyed it immensely and while I don't think Eric would describe it as "fantastic" I don't think he hated it as much as some years...and that counts!
