This is the time of year we have our huge state fair. I went with Tim when we first got married back in 1992. We've lived here for years now and never brought the kids. It runs for a few weeks, but it's either too expensive or not convenient, but this week, we're going to try to go on my day off. Their last experience was the Rochester Fair in NH. It was small, very "country", had a tiny petting zoo, a few rides that were expensive, no music or entertainment, not much to do. It's okay when the kids are little, but with them being 14, 12 and 10, it takes more to amuse them these days.
We'll hopefully get to see things that will expose them to the surrounding cultures in this part of the country, maybe they'll get to try new foods (no, we won't try deep-fried CocaCola or anything too unhealthy), maybe they'll even see an entertainer or two.
Anyway, with them getting so big so quickly, I really hold every moment with them as being very precious. I'm looking forward to spending the day with them playing. I don't like our only interaction to be school or chore-related.
If we make it there, I'll post photos.
