Saturday at the County Fair

Today we let Simone suggest what we should do and out of nowhere she said, "I really want to go to a fair."  She wasn't even sure exactly what a fair was, but she wanted to find out.  So to the internet we went, and learned that Prince William County was having the last day of its annual fair (supposedly the largest in Virginia). In no time we were off to the fair!

Needless to say, after a short while looking at all the farm animals, we spent most of the day riding the rides.  

Simone went on this drop-tower ride without a second thought, not totally realizing what was going to happen.  She loved the climb to the top, but turned as white as a ghost on the drop down.  She said it hurt her belly, and that was the end of that ride for the day.  We were proud of her for trying it, because you'd never get me on it! She told me if I went on this ride, it would make me throw up! lol!

Tony pondering the universe.

And that's it.  We shared a funnel cake and then went to dinner at restaurant where not everything was deep fried on a stick.  It was a nice way to spend the day. And we were happy to introduce Simone to a piece of Americana -- her first county fair.
