8/07/2009 The Ohio State Fair

The Briggs family at the 2009 Ohio State Fair.

Alexa didn't want to pet the animals. She did like feeding them carrots and climbing on their fence.


Alexa and Gavin's first time on a carousel.

I took this picture myself of Gavin riding the horse on the carousel. I had no idea he was so excited until I uploaded the picture onto my computer. He's going to be a little daredevil just like his sister! Unfortunately, this was the only ride he was allowed to be on. We did ride it twice (the second time he fell asleep- see picture below).

Alexa loved it! She kept saying "Go! Go, Horsey, More!" At one point, she got angry with Daddy for holding on to her. She wanted to do it all by herself!


This is better than having to buy her a real pony....

The fair was too much excitement for Gavin.

After we finally pulled her away from the carousel, her next favorite thing was the giant super slide. I don't know how she wasn't terrified, I sure was! Before the night was over, Alexa went down the slide 4 times with Mommy and once with Daddy. There were 106 steps to get to the top. I considered that my workout for the night!

There were only a select few rides that Alexa was tall enough to ride and I had to say that she was 2 years old (close enough). She loved them all and threw a tantrum after each one when we had to get off.
