The boys first fair

At 6:30 last night we get a call from John and Christie that they were heading to the Orange County Fair and do we want to join them. We looked at each other and said, "what the heck...forget about bedtimes. So off we went to the Winter Garden fair. It was a small little fair but full of all the lights, rides, smells and carnies. The boys were in awe as we drove up and all the lights were everywhere. They especially loved the fact that they got to run around with Teague and Levi. We stayed until 10pm and had a great time! Boston wasn't too into all the rollercoasters and poor guy couldn't go on two of the rides with the other boys because he was too tall. (My heart broke as he cried watching them). John's commentary on the carnival people was especially amusing. And Teague and Boston walking around holding hands was too cute. We got to see the circus tent with kangaroos, lions and miniature horses. Dallas wanted to play the games that cost money (ducks and fishing for sharks.) Surprising to me they loved the Monkey Maze (a mirrored maze with slide at the end.) And Dallas rode the roller coaster and Farris wheel with daddy and the other boys, Boston was too nervous. It was a fun, spur of the moment night. Thanks to John and Christie for thinking of us! (Picture quality not so great, only had the iphone)

Riding the train
Sean, Boston, John and Teague riding bumper cars (Dallas and Levi weren't tall enough and watching very sadly from the sidelines)
John and Sean got suckered into this game. Sean won a little alligator for Dallas
Dallas was so funny on this ride, he kept looking in the rear view mirror to check for coming cars
Riding the pretty double decker carousel Boston and Teague riding then Dallas and Levi. Teague and Boston noticed the sparks under the tires and were quite concerned about "fire!"
Last ride, the swings. Boston watched, Dallas had a big smile while riding Sean and John closed the night out with a big boy ride and about made both themselves sick! Fun time, fun memories
