I have a love/hate relationship with this little fair that comes to our town every August. I love it because it's so close to our house, it's small and we only have to be there for an hour to cover everything. I hate it because it's so close to our house so it cannot be avoided and it seems ridiculous that tickets are $1 each and you need 4 of them to ride 1 ride. 5 kids (well, 4 + Dale) = a high cost for an hour of fun. Is that how all fairs are?!
The last few years we have purchased ride tickets and had the kids earn $ to play games. This year they each had between $10 and $15 to spend. It was fun to watch them decide what to play (this was after I witnesses the $4 ride-smiles). Lucy and Luke were determined to win a fish! Reagan went for a stuffed animal and Carsyn wanted an airplane. We were mostly successful....
