2010 Dixie Classic Fair

Mike and I took Chase, Paige, and Kayleigh to the Dixie Classic Fair Saturday afternoon (Devin was working and went earlier in the week).

First ... let me say.... why on EARTH we EVER felt that Saturday afternoon with weather in the mid 70's was a great idea I will NEVER know! It took us 30 minutes to find a place to park and then we were jam packed at the fair with lots of rude, obnoxious, and smelly people! Soooooooo not kidding! Next year, we definitely go back to the middle of the week fair day!

Second...
we had to refinance a few things to pay for the ride tickets for the kids this year! OK... so maybe that's exaggerating... but it was expensive! Whatever happened to the simple wristbands that got the kids on rides all day long for one flat price? This $40 for a pass card of 30 tickets is for the birds, especially when the rides are at LEAST 4 tickets each!

But on a brighter note... Chase & Paige had a blast. Kayleigh had fun, but wasn't feeling the greatest (still recovering from laryngitis!). This year Chase was super stoked that he was tall enough to ride the Topspin! Ain't no way you'd get me on that thing... but he sure enjoyed it sitting front row center!




Paige was also tall enough to ride all the "big kid" rides and was thrilled to death! Big brother Chase even rode with her on a few things... but I'm sure she'd have been fine on her own!

So... until next year.... we will enjoy the memories and photos, and eat our mac 'n cheese for a month because our grocery budget went to fair organizers who know that Moms and Dads like us will hand out a fortune just to watch their kids have a great afternoon...
