The Fair And Fishing

Alex and I ventured out to the Sioux Empire Fair on Wednesday. I hate carnival rides and can't handle anything more than the carousal rides, but Alex LOVES them. Luckily, my friend Angie and her brother Scott were at the fair that day as well, so they went on a majority of the rides with big Al and I was the "designated bag holder". Not everyone can handle such and important job, but luckily, I'm fearless.

This is a snapshot that I just threw in to tell you Alex's new favorite pastime - fishing. He LOVES it. The guy in the picture is my sister's friend, Chris who Alex adores. Chris is so incredibly patient with him and as a single mom, I am so appreciative of my uncles, cousins, and friends who have stepped up to be a positive male influence on Alex.

Fun times!!
I'm not much for the rides anymore either. I get dizzy just riding the Tilt A Whirl.
I'm with Just Mom...the carousal is about the only thing I ride anymore with my kids.
