This autumn time of year brings out some super fun stuff for us to do as a family. Football games, pumpkin patches, Mommy's birthday... The opportunities for us to have a blast together seem limitless. One of my favorites, other than my birthday, is the North Florida Fair. And this year did not disappoint. We took you on the night of the fall Daylight Savings Time change, in hopes that keeping you up way past your normal bedtime would help you sleep longer and adjust more quickly to the time change. It did not, but we still had a really good time.
We got there right around dinner time, so we had a delicious (ugh) feast of fair food, complete with deep fried Oreos for dessert. Please know that I will never again eat this "delicacy." Nasty. Then we wandered through the petting zoo, agricultural and community exhibits. I dont know why, but those are my favorite.
We played a few midway games, which culminated in you winning a goldfish, which we added to our little habitat here at the house. And you got to ride some rides. Sadly, since Mommy is broken (more on that later) I didn't get to ride any rides with you, but it was so much fun watching you have a blast.
Here you are with a few animals from the petting zoo. Above are some pygmy goats that
you really liked. And below is a sheep. You were so excited to pet all the animals.

Oh my gosh. This thing in the pictures below. It was like a bungee-trampoline-ey- I dont know what. It terrified me, but MAN did you have a good time. The weight minimum on it was 30 pounds, and fully dressed at Publix you've been hitting that milestone, so Daddy let you go on this ride. You had so much fun bouncing away on it!
Weeee! So much fun!
Daddy looking on longingly. He really wanted to do it too, but there was a weight maximum as well as a minimum, so we watched from the sidelines.
Again, I was hesitant to let you bounce in that "apparatus," but your smile afterwards made it all worth it.
Here you are on one of the kids rides. Tractors, of course. The poor man running this ride was a saint. Each tractor had a horn on it, so all 20 or so kids on it kept mashing the horn button. It was enough to make a deaf person crazy. Somehow he managed to keep it together and you had fun.
You were very intent on driving. And since the ride turned to the left, you kept that steering wheel trained to the left. It was hilarious.
Getting ready to take off on the airplane ride. You had so much fun!
You were a little disappointed that you didn't get to go on the Ferris Wheel this go 'round, but I did hear your Daddy mention something about going back again this weekend. So, maybe, little dude. We'll keep our fingers crossed, and Mommy will bring the camera.
Love you,
Mommy
