We have a lot of catching up to do from our time spent with my sister and her family. One of my favorite things to do with them is to go to the Olmsted County Fair. It's become even more fun now that our nieces and nephews are getting older and like to go on the rides.
Within a span of three days, Amaya rode three different carousels - one at Lark Toys, one at the Fair, and one at the Mall of America. She loves riding the carousels and loves laughing at everyone watching her ride. (I'm now regretting getting video of her riding at least one of them.)
We've loved having Jennifer (aka Coldstone) home for the summer and she was able to come with us to the fair along with Mike, Miles, Ben, Annika, and Lydia.
Even Hope enjoyed watching the bright lights, the rides, and all the people. She did absolutely awesome at the fair!
Our nieces Lydia, Hannah, and Annika have NO FEAR! All of them wanted to go on several "scary" rides - especially Lydia!
Our nephews Joshua, Jordan, and Ben took me on this ride TWICE. I think I really only needed to experience it once. It's one of those round and round rides that could very easily make someone "toss their cookies."
We were able to get a chance to see a few of the animals before their owners took them home for the night. We were at the fair way past Amaya's bedtime, but as you can see from the picture - she's ready for more rides on the carousel.
