Seeing your kids have a great time -- PRICELESS
My friend Tina & I decided that we are in fact VERY brave and headed out to the county fair with SIX kids! And a budget of $60! This isn't like my usual budgeting attempts - this was a hard limit since everything is cash only...and all my cash came from Hayden's savings. It felt very strange to pay for everything in $1 bills...
Immediately the kids spied a bungee jumping tower. They were both excited to try it. In fact, once they went once, they wanted to go again! But, after we ran the non-strollered portion of our brood through, we moved deeper into the fair...
The animal barns were great - we got there early so they weren't as ripe as expected. The kids were hilarious trying to decide if they were brave enough to touch a cow, feeling the difference between a sheered sheep and a shaggy one, petting bunnies and a horse, and seeing all the different kinds of chickens...including one with an afro!
The boys really liked the free stuff -- the juggling show, 4H exhibits (next year Bayley wants to do Legos, Hayden wants to do baking), and Demo Garden where they did a scavenger hunt and got to pick a carrot. We wanted to take them to the reptile tent and see the play Rumplestilskin (all free)...but they were focused on food and the rides.
Yeah...maybe we'll go back with Daddy. I think his pockets are deeper than Hayden's.

2 moms & 6 kids.. easy....
Try 2 teachers & 19 kids!!!
I don't know Molly...kids listen to teachers, Mom's not so much...
But, I must say they were all on their best behavior. I think our only complaint would be having to wait in the hot sun while they enjoyed the rides...so...nothing to complain about, really!
I have to say our bunch does pretty good together at field trips. Not one fight today or at Cannon Beach...let's see if they can keep up the record at the falls!
Gracie's hair looks so cute!!
