Fall Festival "Troopers"

The Friday before the Fall Festival started, Connor asked if we were taking them because he heard there was going to be food and rides there. (Thanks to his friends at school). We had avoided the trip to the Fall Festival with kids up to this point - now we had no choice but to entertain Connor's curiosity.

We ventured to the Fall Festival Wednesday night with the boys and Gma Darla (extra support just in case). As soon as we got there, Connor was intrigued by the Ferris Wheel and other "older kid" rides. We focused on food first (of course). The boys had typical kid food - cheeseburger and corn dog. They especially loved the fruit haystack which was fresh fruit with mini-marshmallows. I decided for the first time in many years to venture beyond my favorites and try some new items. I tried the Hawaiian burger (Yummy!) and the Eagle Egg (also Yummy!).

After everyone got their share of food, we went to the outrageously priced ticket booth. I bought a small amount of tickets to give Connor the chance to ride a few rides. Well, Brady decided that he wanted to ride also. He wouldn't ride at Holiday World, but the Fall Festival rides interested him for some reason (go figure). We rode THREE kiddie rides for $15. I think next time, we will consider going on the Family Sunday and purchase an armband to allow them to ride many rides. The evening was fun and the boys will now be a part of the annual trek to the "Biggest Street Festival" in our town!
