Pima County Fair

Last week we won 4 free admission tickets to the Pima County Fair. Wednesday night after John got home from work we went out to spend the night at the fair. The fairgrounds have lots of animals, carnival games, shows, and it was one dollar ride night!


Peter isn't quite tall enough to go on most of the rides. He did get to ride a train with mommy. His favorite though was an obstacle course. We snuck him in, he was about an inch shorter than he was supposed to be. Unfortunately mommy & daddy were too tall and couldn't go in with him. Peter had to climb up a rope ladder, go through tunnels, go down slides. crawl through a ball pit, and swerve through punching bags. He didn't understand that it was a maze and you only go one direction. He was stuck in there for a good 30 minutes! Finally he went down the exit slide with a big smile on his face.


There was a shark show there too. Peter got to go into a shark cage.


And he wanted up on mommy's shoulders to watch the show. Wasn't much to it so we left early. After seeing the sharks in Guam this was lame. :)


John was obsessed with all the crazy rides they had. There were tons that whipped you around in circles and upside down. But he really wanted to do the Mega Drop! No matter how hard he tried he couldn't talk us into going with him. He had a blast going really high and then getting dropped in a free fall. Peter was a little scared for him because he kept seeing the ride fall so fast and everybody screaming. The minute John got off the ride all smiles Peter HAD to get a hug and have his daddy hold him.


Peter's favorite ride was the carousel. He rode one of the biggest horses there was on the outside lane. He hated having to wait for everyone else to load.


He held on tight and didn't even need mommy there to help him.


But mom was there anyway. Taking pictures!


Mommy did it again. She is the Carnival Queen! The water racing game is the best! She won Peter a big green dragon!


Peter loves his new green dragon!
