Schuylkill Valley Fair

At the last minute, we decided to go to the Schuylkill Valley Fair last night. It was only $12 to get in for all of us and that included all the rides and shows. Good deal! We didn't get there until 8:00pm so it was a little dark to take pictures. However, we were able to snap a few.

We stopped at a tent that had different stations for children to experience the life of a farmer. Isabella really enjoyed looking at the chicks and planting a cucumber. We brought the cucumber home but unfortunately it is too late in the season for it to grow fully. We will watch it sprout and read more about the life cycles of plants and vegetables.

She was showing me the balloons painted on her arm. Isabella also said this morning that she will never take a bath again because she doesn't want to wash them off. We'll talk about that later...

The kid in the picture with the blue shirt was having a terrible time with his cow. The cow had it's own agenda and it didn't include anything that the kid wanted her to do!

Isabella won a glow necklace at the bean bag toss. She thought it was really cool...

So did Raymond!

We also had fried Oreo's. Yummy!!!

2 Order's of Fried Oreo's and 1 Order of Fried Nutter Butters = $6.00

1 Frozen Lemonade from Alex's Lemonade Stand = $1.25

Watching Isabella wipe her powdered sugar on Daddy's Shorts = Priceless!

Isabella and Daddy got to go on a few rides. Isabella informed everyone that Mommy couldn't go on because she has a baby in her belly. What a character! It was really hard to get pictures of them on the rides. Here are the best two.

This picture of Isabella on the dragon roller coaster was taken before the ride started. She was the only one on the ride and once it started she was terrified. When the ride was over she kept telling me she was scared but very brave. Poor little thing! She was brave!

Oh yeah! We stopped at the goldfish game. You know, the game where you throw ping-pong balls and try to get them in a little cup of water to win a goldfish. Chris enjoys this game just as much as Isabella. He bought 12 balls. I picked up one ball and threw it. Of coarse, I got it in a cup. Go figure, the one person who didn't want to win a fish won one! Isabella was excited and Chris found it extremely amusing.

Until next time!

Lots of Love,
