Sights and Smells of the Fair

Last Thursday, JDD and I took the boys to our local fair, the Arlington County Fair

It's more of a 'fair lite' as there are only rides, games, and some exhibits in the community center building.  It's a small shindig but it's fun.  Well at least Spencer and I think it's fun.  Clancy and JDD, not so much.  Clancy was way out of his element and was very whiny.  JDD gets stressed when we take the dogs somewhere and they're not 100% well behaved so he carried Clancy most of the time we were there.  Neither of them was very happy about the arrangement.



Clancy calmed down a lot when he met this little boy.

I am a carnival ride junkie.  I love any ride that spins fast or goes upside down.  I'm not a roller coaster girl but I will ride any ride at a fair.  And the faster it spins the better.





Of course you can't forget the games. 

The goldfish game was my absolute favorite when I was little. 

In 2008, JDD won a fish.  Three years later, Eggbert is still swimming.  And Devin is still babysitting.

I'm not sure if this 'attraction' was a game or a ride.

And no trip to the fair is complete without a funnel cake and corn dog.


Have you been to a fair this summer?  Do you like the rides as much as I do?

  4. We are having our state fair right now, but I'm not sure we will be able to get to Louisville to attend this year. However, our local county fair starts the week after next and we always go see the sights there. I need to stay away from the fair food, but I'm sure I'll at least have a corn dog!

  5. This looks like so much fun! Our state fair in VA is coming next month and I've never been a big fan- I might have to give it another try though! So funny about winning a fish years ago too! My cat would totally "babysit" my fish too.
