Our Fair Experience

So Friday evening we met the Bowers family at McDonalds in Centerton and then headed to the Benton County Fair for some fun. There were some pretty dark clouds in the sky so we decided we better take the kids to ride the rides first in case it started to rain and then we could check out the animals!

The whole gang getting our tickets for the rides

While Cadyn and Lindsey were watching the camel rides they were surprised when a dude came up with none other than a long, slimey, scary.......

SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so gross and I think it gave all of us goose bumps and we ran from there as fast as we could!

It did start to rain after the kids had gone on a couple of rides but we got to see the most beautiful rainbow! I couldn't get it all in my camara but we could see where it started and ended! Thank goodness the shower only lasted about 10 minutes! One of God's most beautiful miracles!

Cadyn LOVED riding the motorcycles!

I begged the guy that was running these cars to let Camryn ride with Lindsey and Cadyn even though he was too short and he said it was ok. Camryn was in heaven! I never got a shot of him whooping and laughing but you can see by this picture he was working hard on steering that car!

Cadyn on a John Deere tractor modeling his new sword that he got from "picking a duck". What a rip off but he was proud!!

Camryn of course had to have his turn on the John Deere!

After the rides we went and saw all the show animals and then ended our fun at the petting zoo. Cadyn and Camryn chickened out on holding the baby chicks. They just wanted to watch. By the time we made it to the car it was raining really hard so we got out of there just in time. I can't say that the fair was "exciting" but our kids sure had a good time and that's all that matters!
