Washington Parish Fair






















Today was a big day we took Colby to the Washington Parish Fair. This Fair is a huge deal...its one of the largest fairs even in the country. My parents started taking me when I was around Colby's age and I loved it! We haven't been in a couple years though. We didn't go the year he was a baby because obviously he was too young then last year not sure why we didn't go but I guess we thought he might still be a little young which he probably would have been but this year was perfect! He had a blast!






We had to wake up at 6 am though to get there. Today was the opening day of the Fair so we had to be there by 9 before the parade started because then they would start closing streets. We made it with no problem. I think Colby thought we were crazy this morning though when we rushed him out of bed with hardly any breakfast and put him in his clothes first thing! He was a trooper though. He was good the whole way up there. When we got there he was already excited as he started seeing horses and police cars and firetrucks. We went immediately to the animals. He wasn't scared of the big cows at all he just went right up to pet them. We spent the next while just walking around the fair taking in the sights. We passed a craft station where they had wooden cars and he about had a fit! He ofcourse had to have one! He is soo into cars he likes getting cars from all over and honestly I don't mind buying these because each car we buy somewhere like that has a story and a memory attached to it and maybe one day he will have a little boy who can play with them and we can remember where we got most of them! Next we went into the rides area. We wandered around trying to find rides we thought he could do. We opted for the carousel and this helicopter ride. I rode the carousel with him and Austin did the helicopter. He loved them both! He is going to love Disney World soo much! Again he's not scared of anything...if he were tall enough I know he would ride roller coasters!






After the rides we walked around some more and went back to the animals. We saw cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and horses. Colby loved them all and had to pet each one! After we got a bite to eat. Honestly, I remembered fair food being better then it was today it wasn't good I was dissapointed ooh well we still had fun! After we ate we decided to head on back home. It was getting close to noon and we had been gone since 7 am.






Colby only slept about 30 min of the whole ride home and now he's not napping at home either I guess he is just too excited to sleep! Its been a very fun but tiring day! Little one will be going to bed early tonight because we have another big day tomorrow Elmo Live!
