Gyros, corn dogs, funnel cake....oh and a fair too!

When we first got to the fair Connor was very afraid to try the first "fun house" type ride. Here is a picture of him crying & wanting to get off. I had to walk away as all I wanted to do was rescue him. Brandon talked him through it & the very nice ride attendant helped him. I was so proud of him for facing his fears, but the Mom in me wanted to take him off the ride as soon as he started to cry. Thank goodness for Brandon or he would probably be a big sissy! He was so proud of himself too. By the end of the night he went through this maze about 10 times. His friend Ryan was so great waiting for him & telling him not to be scared. Ryan has a special place in my heart for how great he is to Connor.
Here he is coming down the slide of another maze....getting ready to give his Dad a hi-five on the way down.

He wasn't big enough to ride the swings alone so he Brandon & I took turns riding with him. Brandon forgot to take a picture of me, but lucky for all of us, I got one of him. The best thing about this picture is the face of the girl in front of them. You know she is thinking "Is this thing gonna hold with that big kid on it?"

Connor & Ryan loved this ride!

I have discovered that when Connor is concentrating he sticks his tongue out...kinda like
Charlie Brown!

We had a great time at the fair. It is so much fun to see things like this through a kids eyes. I can't wait to go to Disney this summer.
