SCFF 2018

Hey Everybody!!  Ellen here!

I decided I better update everybody on the fair this year because Linden is so busy with her friends and I just don't think it will get done.

As usual, it was another great year.  Once again, we got the mega ride bands which meant that we got to go to the fair and ride rides as much as we want.  I have made it my tradition that the big slide is the first ride I go on so of course that is where we started!

As soon as we were done with that Linden wanted to head to the big rides with Daddy, so Mama and Maren and I went over and found some rides for me to do.

I really love going on the rides, but there is so much more to the fair that I think Linden misses out on.

If Linden had her way she would spend the entire week on the big rides, but occasionally Mama and Daddy make her come hang out so we can all be together.  Luckily there are some little rides that she likes so we can have fun together.

But it doesn't take long before she is begging to head back to the big ones.  One of her favorites this year was Pharaoh's Fury.

There are a couple of the big kid rides that I can go on.  The musical express is really fast and the music is so loud!

One of our favorite things about the fair is that all of our friends are there and we get plenty of time to hang out.

I swear every line we got in Linden found a friend, she sure knows a LOT of people!

Friends are what makes the fair so much fun.

 Once again, while Linden was off hanging out with her friends, Mama and Maren got to watch me ride.  I don't mind going on rides by myself, I don't have to worry about where Linden wants to sit, I don't have to stand in line and listen to her chat with her friends, and I get to pick any ride I want!

Linden's big news this year at the fair was that she got to ride the Ring of Fire for the first time, and she LOVED it!!  She loved it so much she went on it over and over again!  Mama only rides rides one day and she agreed to ride Ring of Fire with Linden, she said it wasn't bad, but it wasn't her favorite.

My favorite was getting to go on rides with Linden, but without any parents.  I sure am getting big!!

Of course, it wouldn't be fair week without eating Fair Food!!  The first night we went Mama brought baby food for Maren, she was NOT impressed.  She REALLY wanted Linden's corndog and was so happy when Mama let her take a few bites.  My favorite was the cotton candy and taffy!

2018 brought another great fair week.  It was so much fun getting to spend so much time with family and friends before school starts.

Speaking of family, Auntie Megan has continued her tradition of coming down to visit during fair week.  I can't believe we all fit in the Ferris wheel together!  Mackenzie was so brave this year and rode so many rides with me and Linden (that is, when Linden was actually hanging out with us).

Fair week is always a whirl wind.  Maren struggled to keep up with me and Linden.  

Fair week also means a LOT of baths, which I think was the highlight of the fair for Maren.  These days she LOVES getting to splash in the sink/tub and make a big mess.

I gotta get rested up, school is starting soon and I can't wait,
Ellen
