The Fair and Soccer

First of all, Daddy came home! He surprised us on Wednesday morning and we are soo happy to have him home!

Friday we decided to take Ave to the fair. In my opinion, the fair was bleh. and the rides were just pitiful looking. maybe it’s always been like that and I’ve just lost that little kid magic that the fair used to be. or maybe it’s because carnies really are scary. anywho, we spent $20 on some tickets so Ave could ride the rides. She had a good time and I guess that’s all that matters right? She had a great time in the big inflatable bounce house. until it DEFLATED while she was inside of it!! It was a super scary moment for me and she just says that it scared her “just a lil’ bit”. Luckily there were only 5 or 6 kids in it when it deflated and everyone got out unscathed. still, scary. Billy reattached the hose that had come undone and it inflated again. and the carnies were still trying to figure out why it had deflated in the first place, they never saw Billy fix it.  She really liked looking at the animals too and wanted to buy stuff in the arts and crafts building. cause she thought it was a store =) After the fair we took her to play on the caboose that is at the Clark County Historical Museum. because she was reeeaaallly upset that we couldn’t stay at the fair. and then we went and checked out the new Mexican food restaurant. It was pretty good. not bad, not great. By this time, Ave was ready for bed so we came home and went to bed because we had to get up early for her SOCCER GAME!

She had fun. i promise.011 Yes, I did put my child in a cage.019Getting ready to go down the super fast slide. 027

Except it wasn’t fast at all.029

So she went by herself. and got stuck.032

Little did she know…035

and also, I’m thinking of getting my hair cut like this. thoughts? 042

 

Saturday morning, she had her first ever soccer game. her first ever soccer anything really, cause their practice got cancelled for the week. It was entertaining. She was a little nervous at first and told me that it was getting late so we should go home =) She didn’t actually do a whole lot of kicking the ball. except for one time and she did a great job! It think she started to sort of get the concept near the end of the game. But she had fun chasing after the ball or maybe she was just running because all the other kids were running =)

How cute is she?043

She likes to sit on the ball053
