State Fair

Yesterday we all made a trip out to the State Fair. This trip was a lot more successful than our last visit two years ago. The last visit was so rough we had to take a year off before making another go of it.

In our last trip, Seth was 3 and Chase was 1. Chase was too young so this was essentially his first trip.

But, two years ago, I was sure the best part for Seth would be the train musuem. At the fair grounds they have several trains that you can climb up in and tour and since Seth loves train we just knew this would be a hit. Well it wasn't. He cried and cried and refused to go up on any train. I was very frustrated.

Prior to us making it to the trains we had to pas Big Tex which is a 4 or 5 story cowboys that greets all the fair visitors. Again, I thought Seth would love Big Tex but again we literally had to run past him as our 3 year old screamed in horror.

Well, this year was much better. But, we did have another 3 year old with us and he experienced some fear. He too didn't like Big Tex while Seth had overcome his fear. We also made another trip over to the trains and Seth loved it and Chase was a little scared. But overall, they both were little troopers.

Things like visiting the State Fair never lives up to expectations for me but we did make some very nice memories and I'm sure we will be back next year.
