State Fair 2011

As summer starts to draw to a close we head to the State Fair for a day in the sun. After a summer at Disneyland I thought that the fair rides wouldn't have much appeal to the girls but the still seemed to have a good time. This year the only time we could fit it in with our camping schedule was to head to the fair on one of Jeremy's night shift days. We headed to the fair mid-afternoon so Jeremy needed to head to work at about 4:30 so Grandma Nate rode the rides with us...one of us had Abbie while the other had Rylee.
As usual the slide is a number one favorite so we went on it numerous times.
My favorite...the Ferris wheel (ugh!)
The girls were able to do a lot of rides on their own this year. Abbie was such a good mama who held on tightly to Rylee on all the rides they went on alone.
 
 
 
It has became a tradition for both girls to bungee jump. Last year Abbie only did 2 or 3 flips while she jumped while this year she flipped almost every other jump. Rylee, much like last year, just laughed and laughed the whole time. The higher she jumped, the louder she giggled.
Abbie told me that the flying boat is her favorite ride..for such a tenderheart she sure is a daredevil.
 
The petting zoo has lost a little bit of luster for Rylee although both girls still like to go in and feed them they aren't nearly as excited as they were a few years ago.
 
This year's fair had a brand new attraction...giant balls on water that you can walk in, crawl in, do somersaults in, etc. Abbie thought it was great but Rylee didn't last long because she didn't really like being by herself in the giant ball.
