A Decent A Fair

After a the girls napped all day, everyone felt much better and a decision was made to go to the fair in Newfoundland.

approaching the gates we could tell this fair was no joke

one of the three rides Yuula met the height requirements for was the bouncy house

1346276481472
at first she was less bouncy and more house

we gave the horseys a go

1346277254346
she held her own this time and even mildly exclaimed "wee" once or twice, tho I don't think the horseys noticed

no?

a fair staple, a delectable classic

more horsey! she exclaimed, but her face doesn't tell that story

the space train went well at first

1346279362149
she lost it somewhere between Saturn and Jupiter (haha get it?)

there has never been a bad photo of a ferris wheel

the sun dropped and the temperature plummeted

Laura and I went on the Cliff Hanger, kind of cool, round and round on the angle but you get to go head first while you lay on your belly, like a hang glider, very relaxing.

In the time it took us to cliff hang Yuula had fallen asleep in Susie's arms. We decided rather than eat a $9 slice of pizza we'd go to their favorite restaurant, the Hotel, and grab a bite to eat. Yuula colored all of the placemats, including some of the table, and Eileen and Laura ate the biggest burgers I've ever seen. Susie and I were the lightweights. When the music jumped 10 decibels and the barflies started replacing dining folks it was clear the night was coming to an end. Good to see Eileen and Susie finally this summer. We still got a little bit of warm weather left so... we'll see what happens. Yuula was asleep before I could put the car in drive.
