Once Rory shook off his breakdown on the stage and watched his brother do his dance, he was ready to ride some rides. Kate and Luke rode a few things too. It was a beautiful day!
Our family eventually left just after 3pm, and we made the boys take a break when they did. We got them snoballs and sat down near the stage to rest and listen to the music for a bit.
Then they were right back at it, running from ride to ride and having a great time. We let the boys each take a chance on the balloon pop game (a.k.a. they both wasted $10 to get dinky little stuffed animals that they could have caught for free at Mardi Gras), and we even ran into Rory’s and Colin’s big buddy, Anthony.
We took a family spin on the ferris wheel at sundown, let the boys have a few last rides, and burned through two cans of silly string before we decided to call it a day. As per tradition, we went to Mooyah for dinner (where Riley wrote his name in script on the chalkboard wall!) before finally going back home and crashing.
Dana, Heidi, and I worked a second shift on Sunday morning (my birthday!), at the drinks booth. The guys brought the kids out later to enjoy the last day of the fair, and everyone came together once our shift was over.
This was also the day that Riley rode the Rock It. FOUR times. Ansleigh and Myril’s dad Jake agreed to take him and see if he was tall enough. Well, he was, and he went again with Terah, then with me, then with his classmate Laurel. He was SO excited. Claire was bummed that she was too short to ride it, but she did get on the Fireball for the first time. Dana went with her. They both screamed the whole time and said never again when they got off. Too funny.
A few last rides for the boys and one more family turn on the ferris wheel (Rory’s favorite) before we declared our time at the fair done. It was, as always, highly entertaining, incredibly exhausting, and super chaotic. Fair weekend = fun weekend!
Until next year!
