We first walked through one of the 3 large buildings, where all of the vendors reminded us of the many RV rallies that we've attended. Someone couldn't wait to get over to the carnival area, so that's where we headed next. Laila and Grandma rode a few rides, then I was talked into going on the log ride. It was a bit surprising that this type of ride is now able to be set up, and torn down within a few days. Yep, it even had two hills, complete with big water splashes at the bottom of each.
Laila sat in front on the log ride, and guess who got the wettest?
Not too many years ago, there was no such thing as a ride that would give me any kind of motion sickness. Last year in San Diego, Laila and I rode the tilt-a-whirl, causing me to turn a couple of shades of green. Yesterday, I let Grandma take Laila on the roundy round rides.
If there's a train anywhere around, even a "G" scale, I'm the guy who'll find it!
The petting zoo was a popular spot for big, and little kids.
Grandma took this shot while we were watching the "wild about monkeys" show.
After several hours of walking, riding, and doing what you do at a county fair, we debated a "fair food" lunch, but decided to head for Quiznos instead. In the Vail business area, there's a Dairy Queen next to Quiznos, and we might have stopped there, but I'm not admitting to anything!
This was our last full day with Laila before we head north toward Alaska. We'll be taking her home later today, where the school week routine will once again be what's happening. Only 4 more weeks of school, and the 1st grade will be history. Where does the time go?
