ok a ll parents get excited about those big once a year fairs right …. ok maybe the kids get more than us … .. we know we are about to obliterate a lot of money 100 of bucks in fact . on food and rides and show bags but to see the kids faces is so worth it … 
like most parents with small kids we pay the high price just to walk thru the gates and head straight to the clowns oh in this case we got an assortment . the kids won there 20 cent cheap ass jewelry prize … dam it we never win those huge stuff toys i see others walking around with 
this year mummy got brave enough to allow 7 year old to go on a very fast grown up ride for the first time of course i made dad go with her im not stupid .after a few rounds i noticed she was still chewing that dam chewing gum in her gob .. my heart pounded ..thinking omg gum on a fast ride what if she gasps in excitment and chokes to death on the gum .. maybe i should make a scence and stop the ride … but she made it ok but the gum went straight in the bin …
we came across the kids petting zoo area they loved it … touching the rabbits guinea pigs and holding the newly hatched chickens … then they went for round 2 … then round 3 .. omg these places suck none of them cater for seating anywhere inside or outside .. my legs were killing me . my poor 7 mth pregnant daughter was about to colapse …. so we sat 
and made there dad take them around to see the other animals outside while we rushed for a toilet run
we fed the kids waiting in line for 30 minutes to get a few bags … everyone was tired sore and stressed … but before heading home you just gotta let the kids have one more ride before the day ends …..
the little ones goes on the motor bike and of course like usual screams at the end of each ride . wanting more … so dad given in over and over and over again those last rides before home turns into an hour long stress fest
the few hundred dolars that i took went very fast
but the kids had a great day out .. and i guess its all about makeing memories
