County Fair

Last weekend was the County Fair. The kids had a wonderful time. I spoke with Morgan on the phone on Saturday morning, and when I told him we were going to the Fair he seemed sad that he was missing it again. He has been gone for over a year, so we are missing doing things together the second time around now. He was especially disappointed that he would be missing out on Funnel Cakes. Those are his favorite Fair food, so he told Lydia to eat one for him. So we bought one to share in Daddy's honor.

Braden and Lydia had a great time on the rides. Braden has always loved roller coasters, but this year he didn't want to ride the small one because it was "too baby-ish." But Lydia rode it with a friend for the very first time. She has become much more daring and brave recently.

We went with some of our friends, and then met up with a lot of other friends at the Fair. It is really great to live in such a small town. We have only lived here for a year, and we can already go to the County Fair and run into most of our friends. Braden got onto one ride, only to discover that the little boy sitting next to him was one of his good friends from school last year. We really look forward to the Fair next year when we will be able to go and share our Funnel Cake with Morgan.
