Fun at the Fair (and Carnival)

Here we are at the Box Elder Fair, the best fair in the whole state. The kids were so excited to go on the rides. This was the first year that I forked out the money to do it. The first picture is just priceless. I love the look of utter happiness on their faces. It makes me a proud mama.
Jayla was so brave and went on the dragon roller coaster. It was pretty loud so I think that's why Blake opted out of this one. When the ride was going it looked like Jayla was getting a little scared at certain parts but afterwards I asked her about it and she said she wasn't scared at all. Okay *wink wink*.

This ride was more of Blake's style.

The next day our Stake held a neighborhood carnival with booths of games, a dunk tank, face painting, food, and this giant slide. I was poised for the perfect picture of Jayla coming down then WAM this lady gets right in front of me. Sadly this was the last time I was going to stand in that long line so this is what we got.
This one of Blake turned out much better. Blake is always surprising me. He acts like this timid, shy boy and then he climbs up a huge ladder and slides down this steep slide like it's nothing. This was our last big event of the summer. I am very sad to see summer go. It's such a fun time for our family and this summer was definitely full of a lot of great times.
