Fair

The three of us went to the Fair yesterday. The weather was perfect. We started with the Egyptian exhibit then on to the reptiles, which Costas always enjoys. We stopped at the livestock next. Costas didn't really say much about the animals, but he seemed to be watching what was going on. There was a section devoted to baby animals which were so cute. Some lambs were born on site that very morning. Next was panning for gold which was nice, but Costas didn't really know what we were doing. On to fishing with real fishing hooks that are barbless (and baitless). No luck catching a fish, but Costas enjoyed it. Next was the pirate ship and fort. Costas played there for a long time. Finally, we headed to the carnival rides. Costas went on the bumper cars, two roller coasters (kid-size), some dragon thing that spun around, and the Ferris Wheel. Everything was a hit. On the way out, Costas had a giant ice cream cone. He fell asleep on the way home and ended up sleeping almost 13 hours. When asked the next day what he liked best, he said, "the pirate ship and roller coaster." We will definitely go back next year.
