Fun at the Fair

We discovered a magical place (at least it is magical for 2 year old boys)--the Arizona State Fair. The fair has several of Hayden's favorite things in one place: farm animals, rides, bad-for-you-but-oh-so-yummy food, bright lights, race cars smashing into each other, and a big crowd for people-watching. We went during "happy hour," so all rides and several food items were $1 each. We ate corn dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cotton candy, and chocolate-dipped ice cream. I was very tempted by the deep-fried Snickers bar, but in the end I resisted only because I was so full on other fair food. We watched the figure 8 races, where cars race and smash into each other around a muddy figure 8. It was little boy heaven.

Jonah was so good and smiley the whole time.
Hayden's favorite ride was the pirate ship. He asked to go on almost every adult ride we passed, including some that were so high and fast that even I wouldn't dare go on them. So, when he asked to go on the pirate ride one last time before we left, and he said "please" in his sweetest, most convincing voice, how could we say no?
