Jackson County Fair

Yesterday we decided to brave the heat and head out to the Jackson County Fair which is about five minutes from our house. We met our friends Chris and Janice there and had a great time, but I have to admit I was a little surprised. The only other fair we had ever been to is the Puyallup which is huge so I figured it would be more like that. It was so small it took about 20 minutes to see everything! We were going to let Adam go on a few rides but he is still about 2 inches too short. Poor Adam! On the bright side, we now know not to book a trip to Disneyland anytime soon (unless they sell toddler platform shoes). But he did get to see horses and eat a huge ice cream bar which he totally loved! My favorite part was that included with admission you could go sit in the grass area for the Plain White T's concert. So Adam and Mario got to go to their first punk rock show (I've been to so many I don't think I could count them if I tried)! They are actually really good live. I was super impressed and even Mario who doesn't like that kind of music and REALLY doesn't like sitting in the grass had to admit it was fun! Adam absolutely loved it and the atmosphere was really family friendly despite all the teenagers. Who knows...maybe I have a budding rock star on my hands. The night ended with a great fireworks show and then on to Sonic where we had corn dogs and Strawberry Cream Slushes. We have had a bit of a Sonic obsession this summer.... but it's soooo good! We figured $6 of food at Sonic would have cost $20 at the fair. In all it was a great night, although much to my dismay all the walking did not jump start labor. I wanted to go on the tilt-a-whirl and see if that would get things going, but Mario said no...LOL! It's a good thing we had fun yesterday because Adam now has pink eye and a stomach flu! Eye drops and vomit....fun fun!
