"Fried" Burg Fair- Part 1

Sunday we headed over to Maine for the Fryeburg Fair!

The girls found this pretend cow

that they could practice milking just inside the gates.

Next we stopped by a petting area and enjoyed

feeding and petting some of the goats.

Soon it was time to hit the Midway and the rides.

Josie and Gabrielle on the Ferris Wheel.

Josie is pointing to the "big kid" rides in a different section

and is telling Jie Jie she wants to go there next.

Me and Clara Rose on the Ferris Wheel.

Swings!

The "big kid" section.

Home of the Zipper.

The ride Jie Jie wants to go on.

No single riders allowed.

Wim will not go on it.

Josie wants to go on it-- says to me, "MOMMMMM! I AM big enough!"

Uh, I don't care.

Another view of how this thing moves--for those who are not in the know.

An actual picture of the zipper with me and Gabrielle inside.

I label this a stepdaughter's revenge.



Me SCREAMING inside one of the cage cars.
Gabrielle is sitting on the other side of me-- also SCREAMING.


Below is a shot of what it looks like in full motion--from google images.

A Real picture of me trying to walk after riding this crazy thing.

It brought me back to the days of my youth--

the one's that involved a really baaaad hangover!

Josie was hopping all over the place to go

on some of the "REAL" rides.

**SIGH**

Josie and Wim on the Thunder Bolt.

Clara Rose was thrilled to be 'just' big enough--by a hair,

to go on the "REAL" rides.

She was yelling at the operator to go 'faster' and then exclaimed,

"OH Yeah!"

Me and the girls on the Scrambler.



 This was the last of our expose in the Midway

section of the Fair.

Next we are on to more mellowactivities looking at farm animals.
