Silver Dollar Fair Continued

Ryan was so funny on his pony, every time he would go by me, he would say, "CHEESE! Aunt Duwanie, CHEESE!" It was hilarious!! He loves me! Maddie was a little worried about riding the ponies, but she was a champ! She did awesome. Macky was too cool for words! He's a ham! You gotta love that! Bonnie went on this ride where the car bounces up and down as it goes around and around. She LOVED it. Of course she chose to sit in the back seat even though she was the only one in her car! She is just practicing for her days as a Diva! Macky, Ryan, Ethan and Maddie all rode this roller coaster. Macky and Ryan were sitting together and were livin it up. Ethan and Maddie were in the car right behind Macky. You can kinda see Ethan looking at Maddie, that is because when the coaster started to go around a second time, she realized it wasn't going to stop for a while, and she decided that it wasn't as much fun as she thought it was going to be. Ethan being the good cousin that he is, put his arm around her and was trying to make her feel better. It didn't work. After riding the rides, we went to see the animals. That was a big hit! The kids loved all the animals. There were pigs and cows and sheep and goats. One sheep was waiting to be sheared, and Ethan (of course it was Ethan) noticed that it was a boy sheep with rather large testicles. He asked what those things hanging down were, and I told him. Now you have to understand that Ethan has a hearing problem. Whenever you are trying to be quiet, or keep something hush-hush, say like in Sacrament meeting, or at the fair when you are embarrassed to say the word "testicles" very loud in the middle of a crowd of people, he always says "What, WHAT DID YOU SAY MOM?" I am using all caps so you can imagine how loud he is. Well true to form, he asked what I said, so I repeated myself. He yells "What are TESTICLES?" Nice Ethan. Needless to say, I was a lot embarrassed. At least there were a bunch of people around to hear! Oh well, thankfully he will be anatomically correct when he talks about what he saw at the fair.

We missed this year at the fair, but when we do go the pony rides are the way to go. I am glad you had a great time.
