We hit up the South Plains Fair again this year - twice! On Wednesday morning (this was in September), our playgroup met at the fair to see the animals. It's free admission in the mornings cause none of the rides are open yet. Halle and Abigail enjoyed seeing the sheep and even won their own awards for cuteness!
Ok, they gave all the kids some....
Halle's favorite rabbit!
Petting zoo!
Checking out the tractors!
On Saturday, we returned for the full experience with Dad and Eve. We started with a little fishing, which the girls thoroughly enjoyed (but didn't catch anything).
Next, feeding butterflies! A couple came and landed right on Eve! She was thrilled since only the adults were supposed to feed them and she was bummed because she wanted to.
More tractors!
Petting zoo round two! Halle and Abigail were fairly patient with having to redo the parts they'd already seen on Wednesday.
Our 2016 chicks!
They had a sea lion show, but we just watched them splash for a couple minutes before moving on. The girls were anxious to get to the rides!
But first a few more animals....with Halle rapidly losing interest....
Finally the rides! The rides were all at least $3 each (what?!?!) so we told the girls they could each pick three. Then a nice couple gave us extra ride passes as they were leaving, so each of the girls got two more!
Eve was very practical and chose this small ferris wheel over the big one because it was fewer tickets so she could go on more rides. Her sister were happy with the smaller version too :)
The girls each chose their own final ride. Eve picked these swings, which worried me a little, but this girl loves amusement rides!
Abigail picked this helicopter ride. There were only like 3 or 4 that she was tall enough to ride on.
And Halle picked the hot air balloons!
We finished out the fair with cotton candy - Eve and Halle are obsessed since they had it at the movie with me, and Abigail quickly became a fan. A very sticky fan....
And through it all, Cora was a champ!
We finished at the fair early enough that we had time to swing by a little family carnival at Eve's school.
Get your guns up!
Hot dogs to wash down the candy corn :)
And more bouncy houses!
Halle's signature slide move....
Then we finally took four exhausted girls and two weary parents home to bed!
