It's Fair Time 2011

What a great time we had at the fair this year.  We went twice to make sure we got to enjoy as much of the family as possible.  The first time we had Matt, Andrea, Nathan and Jason there and we all linked up with Jay, Alli, Jayla, Jaxon and Brodie.  Auntie Hoot joined us as well so the kids had one more "kid" to go on the rides with.  I think they actually went on enough rides to get her stomach going just a little bit. They all got wrist bands and proceeded to ride the rides for the next several hours.  It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed going on the rides together.  The second time it was just Nathan and Jason with Memor and me.  We hit a lot of rides and of course both times we had to enjoy a corn dog.  Things are sure more expensive than they used to be but we enjoyed it anyway. (Won't tell anyone we went on senior days so we got in free).

This year the fair had a much more diversified menu.  I am afraid that I still went with the corn dog option!!  No one in our group was adventurous enough to try the scorpion!

Cute picture of the Cheeseman Family walking to the next ride.

What a fun group to hang out with.  Most were very ready to try new things except Papa.

Jason enjoying the small rollercoaster!  His height kept him from some of the rides he wanted to go on.

The boys on one of the smaller roller coaster rides.  All had a great time!

Nathan and Jason participated twice in the little western show.  They were of course the stars of the show and even had the MC going when they started to adlib and caused the show to take a few turns they had not intended it to take.  "A Star is Born!"

Nathan and Jason both entered the tractor pull and Nathan won this heat.  Both did very well and had a good time.  Way to go boys!!

Ice Cream treat after the tractor pull competition.  Notice the T-shirts.

Matt thought the fried Oreo's were pretty good and tried to get Kristin to indulge.

What's a fair without a milking competion.  Watch out for the teats!!
