the fair

When we got to the fair, Andrew was so excited for rides he could hardly handle it. We decided to go look at animals and listen to a little music first though, to let our dinner settle just a bit.

He had fun, but lasted about 10 minutes before asking if it was time for rides. So we headed over to the rides where we spent the rest of our night...

It's unclear if Mason enjoyed the slide or not. : ) I hope he did, because it ended up being his only ride. Poor guy was just an inch or so too short to ride any of the rides. He probably wasn't supposed to do the slide either, but we snuck in. But then the joke was on us because Matt wasn't allowed to carry him up. Mason walked up all the steps, causing a slight traffic jam, but at least he made it.

(Thanks Aunt Melissa for catching this cute shot!)

The little guy in the seat next to Andrew had some great expressions!

I tried to get a picture of the boys in the cute rodeo shirts grandma got them, but Mason must have sensed it and decided to this crazy chicken walk instead.

Mason spent the night watching Andrew have fun. Luckily it only took one ride and he seemed to understand he wasn't going on anymore. Plus, he had fun being passed around between us all to be carried.

Aunt Melissa took Andrew on the Sizzler. After the ride was over, Melissa felt sick and Andrew said it made his head feel crazy. Then, just to make sure we didn't have too great of a day, Andrew woke up at 11:30 and puked! It was a bummer, especially since we all sleep in the same room at grandma & grandpa's house. We cleared his sheets and pulled him into bed with us, where he slept through the night and woke up feeling great. We might have pushed his little tummy, just a bit too far...
