Yesterday was a civic holiday Monday, so I took the kids to the Luxton Fair...
For them it was all about the midway.
The cotton candy, bells and whistles, rides flying overhead, barkers calling out to us...
"c'mon in...try yer luck."
Hmm...more like "cmon in and get ripped off!"
So we played a few games...
Won a few small stuffies...
Slid down some slides...
I always love the ferris wheel ...
So we all went for a ride...
The little ones were scared...
It's pretty high up and even if the seat rocks a little it can make you nervous.
But after getting over their fears and finding out what it's like to get a birdseye veiw of the world...
It was all smiles!!
Knowing that your big brother and sister are up there too helps keep the courage up...
Near the end of the day, we walked over towards the fun house only to discover we didn't have enough tickets for all to go in.
Then I noticed this guy working the funhouse...
After a long weekend...
long days...
loads of screaming kids...
He just didn't give a hoot anymore and was letting anyone and everyone in for free..
Not only were we going in for free, he was letting everyone go in and out as much as they wanted...
"Ah, let them blow off some steam" he said to one mom...
Now this is what it's all about...
I think the kids must have went in and out of there about 10 times and it was the most fun they had all day..
Oh yeah! The best things in life are free!
It's the way things should bee...heh heh...

What a wonderful day you had.
Your children are beautiful! I love the photos.
That second photo of the swing ride is a great one. Love the angle, the direction and how it shows the height of these rides with the comparison of the trees. Love that one.
Bet the kids slept well that night...
How fun! It looks like you and the children had a blast, and their smiles make it all worthwhile, don't they?
I haven't been to a fair or carnival in ages, but this sure brought the memories... :)
