Fair Day

Fair day almost wasn't this year. Despite the fact that Carter had been talking about it for weeks, the week before he came down with croup, followed the day before by a trip to urgent care in Waco for a bronchitis diagnosis. Then on the way home from Waco Sunday night, Delaney coughed a couple times, and I knew that she had croup as well. So instead of meeting our friends at the gates when they opened, I made a quick trip to the doctor with her. We decided that since she wasn't really coughing we would go ahead and go, and when and if she started feeling really yucky we would leave. Thankfully, the croup did not ever hit her very hard, so we lasted most of the day!

 

 

Poor girl just laid in her stroller most of the day, which was probably good that her little body got so much rest!

First Fletchers of the day!

He begged for ice cream

We took a break and let him play on these giant bouncy things while we enjoyed the Kildares concert

He was fascinated that he could look down the tunnel onto the field of the Cotton Bowl!

Headed for the Midway!

Carter kept telling everyone that he was going to ride a roller coaster. He had told Christiaan that he was going to ride one and scream and then laugh. We totally didn't think he would do it, but once he saw the one that he was big enough for he was so excited. Christiaan had to ride with him though.

A huge change from last year when he wouldn't even ride the simple things that just go around in circles slowly!

He loved these airplanes! Even when they went up into the air.

These motorcycles were one of the things that he refused to ride last year

Not this year!!

Poor girl was feeling gloomy

Back where it all started!

We are glad that we got to go and take Delaney for the first time, despite all the illness! Until next year!
