I will say it is nowhere near as fantastic as the fair was when I was little, but it was still a fun trip for us. We pulled into the parking lot and as soon as we get him situated in the stroller he decides he's hungry. An hour and a half before he should be. So we make a bottle in the parking lot, feed him, do a speedy diaper change and we're on our way! We get inside and immediately almost get run over by the crazy train. No not a group of crazy people but literally a little train that swerves all over the place and has small children (and adults) blowing on obnoxious noise makers. If it wasn't $5 a person I so would have gone and been the most obnoxious one there.
Unimpressed with the smell
We went and looked at the animals and omigoodness the smell. It wasn't too bad after a second, but it was overwhelming at first. Noah was not pleased with it at all, and it's the first time I've ever seen him react to how something smells. We went and saw Jason take pictures of cows before they turn into food, went and saw the sheepies, I stepped in a rather significant puddle of some type of urine, saw the piggies and moved on to the little animals.
On our way in to see the little animals they had those things you can stick your head in that turn you into a buff hula guy or Rudolph, except these were a cowboy and a cowboy on a horse. Of course I had to stick the baby's head into these for a photo op. It was too good to pass it up. He was surprisingly okay with being manipulated to fit in the face hole.
He liked looking at the bunnies jumping around, although most of them were pretty lethargic, just chillin, annoyed by all the people talking to them and tapping the cages(which annoyed me so much). One guy walked up to a goose, looked it square in the eye, said Aflack and walked away. Epic moment. When we got close enough to smell the turkeys we decided we were done. The turkeys smelled worse than all the big animals combined. Unpleasant.
We proceeded outside and found shaved ice. Who can turn down shaved ice? Jesse waited in line while Noah and I waited in the shade and he just smiled and talked and smiled and talked the whole time. Jesse comes back looking super excited about his shaved ice and it's three flavors, bubble gum, vanilla and root beer.
What's this?
He looks at me and asks if he could give some to the baby and get a spoonful of bubble gum ready, hoping I'll say yes. I look at the spoon and the bright blue, eat it and get some vanilla on the tip of the spoon.
Oooh yummy
I let him give him an itty bitty bit that was on the side and was more ice than flavored syrup. Oh the faces this child made. He was super excited at the little bit of flavor he got then completely freaked out when he realized how cold it was. Priceless moment.
COLD COLD COLD!!
To make a long story short, we tried to win a fish, failed horribly, saw some puppies who needed a home and decided we want a dog in a few years, played with some international instruments, bought Jesse sunglasses and dealt with a MASSIVE poop explosion. Somehow I think the prune juice is still working on his system because we went from pooping once a day, to no poops for 5 days, to a huge solid poop, to lotsa poops every day.
When we got back to the car Noah was exhausted and falling asleep, but woke up enough to talk to us and tell us how his day went:)
Love the pictures and the video is precious. Good to hear he's pooping again.
