2010 Oklahoma State Fair



It's fair time! This year we went to the one in Oklahoma City and it was the perfect day. James took the day off work, it was in the low 80's, and breezy. The kids had a blast! We had some "fair food", rode the rides, and watched some shows.

Here Hannah and Papa are riding in the spinning bears....



This was Hannah's favorite! She rode it with Papa twice, and once with Nonna, Poppy, and me.



The height requirement for almost all the rides was 36 inches and Gabriel is only 31 :-( However the Model T car's requirement was only 30 inches so we "drove" many times. He took the driving job very seriously.



He was also allowed to go on the ski lift that went REALLY high over all the rides.....




At the end Hannah rode the "Dumbo" ride ALL BY HERSELF



And when she discovered that it was fun, safe, and she had a cheering section waiting for her, she decided that riding alone was ok - so here she is riding a camel!




Peekaboo!



A highlight of the day was the Sea Lion show....Spark and Zoe





Aleisha - the blind old sea lion - saying her hellos...



Our last show of the day was the JUMP dogs - frisbee catching and water jumping. And Gabe waiting for it to start.



He did wake up to watch the dogs





After a fun filled, 1/4 of a nap day...here was Gabriel on the way home...such sleepy eyes....
