Friday Fair

The Chico Fair was held this weekend and we thought Jessica would have fun doing Fair stuff:  Riding on Grandad's shoulders while sipping limeade.  Allison enjoyed the sights and sounds as much as her big sister.

Jessica rode the big blue dragon on the carousel.  She started crying for Meema about 60 seconds into the ride and I had to hold her on the dragon for about 5 minutes while she cried and all the onlookers gave us sad faces.

This little billy goat was one of Jessica's favorite attractions.

Uncle Eric shared his funnel cake with Jess.

Then we took Jessica on the teacups.

The monkey that shook your hand if you gave him a dollar was, hands down, the very coolest thing at the fair.  We donated two dollars and got two really cute videos.

After the teacups we rode the dizzy bears, that's not what they were called but that is a more accurate name... actually nauseous bears would be a good name too.  (Especially after eating corn dogs and funnel cake.)

After the throw up bears Jessica threw a tantrum, maybe those bears didn't agree with her either, but it was nothing a bottle wouldn't help.

 

Uncle Eric has two pet mice.  The white one is named Rae and he lets Jessica hold her.  You can see it crawling up Jessica's arm if you look close.

After the fair Jessica danced in the mirror a little before going to bed.

And Daddy went to visit the state capitol in Tallahassee
