Its home of the Worlds Greatest Jumping Frog Competition. It's were Mark Twain got his start. I loved it! We ate corn dogs, corn on the cob, lemonade and funnel cake, as you do. I rode a Ferris Wheel for the first time and thought it was very exciting, though I have to say, the whole situation is pretty expensive! And yea, its key to go in the evening when the atmosphere is more fun. Love that Twain and Ollie had such fun with the Bernoulli thing and those kitchen goodies are so stinkin cute!

Fortunately it's only 45 minutes from where we live now. It is in the forest, so it's a nice place to go with shade and tall trees. (Though, this years it was stinking hot). We go every year. Ram and I made it a family tradition to go and eat the fair food (expensive as it is, all of the food sold is fundraising, so we indulge in corn dogs, cinnamon rolls and a few other things each year). Then, we take our photos in the black and white photo booth. We have one from every year we have been a family. Whenever I am pregnant, we make sure I'm standing up in one of the four shots to get the baby in there. This year, it was Me, Ram, the two kids and an one giant 8 month pregnant belly squeezed into that booth. Our kids are still small, so we don't have to spend money on rides, but it still costs a pretty penny for our day of fun. It's worth it to us, but I feel you on the cost of a shaved ice. <br /><br /> Amber Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313281631858841720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-38164645976971841622012-10-01T09:47:44.726-07:002012-10-01T09:47:44.726-07:00Ah!
