Oregon State Fair, here we come!

There is only a couple of days left before school starts, so I decided that I wanted to smash a whole summer full of trips into one week, crazy I know! Yesterday was $1.00 ride day at the Fair so I packed a lunch for the kids and off we went. I knew better than to go on a Monday, but we were going to try it anyway!

Brandon was grumpy and tired, so he slept all the way to Salem, while Jacob and Mason watched a movie in the van; thank God for the DVD player built in! When we got there, it was overcast and dark! We were bundled up, sitting in the stroller and off we went to find us some "aminals" as Mason says!

Last week the two littles did well in the stroller, so I didn't think it was going to be an issue-WRONG! Brandon didn't want Mason anywhere near him, and used his head to head-butt Mason in the mouth. Mason now had a fat lip! After walking around and playing referee all morning, we made our way over to the rides! They each got to go on about 5 rides. The little boys got to pick their rides, and they of course they had to sit in the same seat as each other. I tried to split them up, but they insisted!

When the ride tickets were gone, we headed to the horse arena to sit, eat lunch and get ready to go home!

It was a really long day, and I was excited to get back and have my trusty "Time-out" spot. Next time I decide to do an "outing" on Monday, I will remember our day at the Oregon State Fair!
