Yesterday we ventured out to the Racine County Fair and I remembered one of the huge benefits of being a parent. The Benefit: an excuse for an adult to ride kids rides. I rode on the bumper cars, for the first time in how many years? I love the bumper cars. The wait was very very long. Only six of the twelve cars were working. And by the time Archer and I were up, only four cars were working. This might actually be better, since it just meant more room for us crazy drivers to move. Archer insisted on sitting on the drivers side. Unfortunately for him, he was too short to press the gas peddle and too weak and uncoordinated to steer. So, fortunately for me, I got to do both. Not vary ladylike, I admit, but I had a great time anyway! I sat there reaching one arm across to steer and the other arm around my son, and one leg stretched across to the gas peddle. And we zoomed around and crashed and screamed and laughed and had a great three minutes at the fair!
Next up? The fun house. A little lame to my standards but the swirling slide at the end was fun for Archer and Shelly had no choice but to watch the older kids running around and having a great time.I know the State Fair will be MUCH better than the small county fair, and I'm looking forward to it! The rides will be bigger, there will be more animals, and more people, and more food - can there be anything better?
