Dan's Bday and the Fair 2010
What a man! Dan turned 32 on October 5th. We had a great day and Elena helped me make a yummy cake for him. Isn't he adorable (in a ruggedly handsome way of course)?
We love going to the fair each year. This was our third time. My sweet family has made a tradition out of coming into town and going with us. Bethany, my dad, and my mom were all hand to help out with the kids and enjoy the tractor pull (our favorite event). It was a great day!
I have a short video of this at the bottom of the post. This character at the fair was hilarious. The best I've ever seen. He was following Kevin around and copying him and Kevin loved it!
Elena is still usually too scared to sit on an actual carousel horse, so she and Bethany are in the carriage and my dad and Kevin are behind. Bethany and Dad later went on the Ferris wheel (above). Elena wanted to go too, but I thought it was wise to talk her out of it. :)
I couldn't get the video to work, so this description will have to do: Elena was so excited to go on the swings. She was begging me to go on the big set of swings, so I brought her over to the kiddie ones. She was adamant that she wanted to go on them. We watched them while we waited in line and pointed out how they went high and spun pretty fast and they even tilted. She was psyched. I was nervous because I know her pretty well. This is her before it started. She's happy.
She's starting to look less happy here, but she's doing great as they start up.
She screamed in terror nearly the entire ride (once it got up to full speed). Dan later said he was so tempted to make them stop the ride. I felt so bad for her, but she stopped screaming and just held on tight towards the end. Then I went and helped her out of her seat and told her to be proud of herself because she did it. You have to enlarge the photo to see her hollering.
Motorcycles! Elena liked this better than the swings, but she still screamed a little. Her absolute favorite moment of the day was getting to steer her very own bumper car! I don't have any pictures of that because I was sitting in the passenger seat pushing on the gas for her.
Little cutie on a train. This ride is more her speed.
My big man is enjoying himself on the fast bird ride with Aunt BB. I didn't get to see this because I was with Elena in a different part of the park, but I heard he was very brave.
Kevin also went on the this ride with Dan. He loved that it was a fire truck. I can't believe my little man is big enough for a big kid ride like this! It's the kind that circles around quickly, so that you are constantly either falling down or flying up.
I love my kids!
We had a family race down the slide!
