It's the first week of August, which in Ventura means the county fair is here! The excitement for the kids begins to build as they start to see rides arrive at the fair grounds, particularly the huge Ferris Wheel! And then signs about the fair are displayed, causing the kids to ask what day we will venture over to the fair grounds! So once again we took the kids over for an adventurous day of rides, food, and animals. Because of the baby being so young this year, we all went for two hours in the morning, and then went home for lunch. While Olivia took a huge nap, the older two kids and I took the bus (yet another reason for them to be excited about the fair! A school bus!) back for a few more hours of fun.
Faith on her most favorite ride!
While Faith went in a Fun House type thing, Shane went on these cute little boats! He was the only one on the entire ride, so they let him ride for an extended time!
Driving the pink car! A perfect fit for our girl, Faith! In addition to the rides, we went to visit our neighbor and babysitter Kelly and her pig! And since it's a must to get some type of food at the fair, we continued the tradition of buying a bag of kettle corn!
Back at home, Olivia found a new way to occupy herself while I work on dinner! She is just the sweetest! We could not ask for a better little lady!
After spending the day at the Fair, Steve and Shane went to Blockbuster to pick up a movie. Goodwill is right next door, and Shane spotted the Bat Cave that he has been asking about for years! Since it was only $5, the boys came home with a movie and a bat cave! All the kids, even Olivia, are loving the new toy! Olivia's favorite part is knocking it over and chewing on the Bat Man figures! When she's nearby and the older two are playing with it, the call her the giant and warn the bat figures about her! Entertainment at it's finest!
